Re: [net] FTP sends incorrect type for EBCDIC

That's what I get for not doing my homework :) Okay, so I have no idea why it is sending B (other than it being a mistake). I'm not even sure why I thought the spec required ASCII/EBCDIC translation, since it says: "For transmission, the data are represented as 8-bit EBCDIC characters." I'll change it to E whenever the source repository is accessible again. Great, thanks! /niklas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is not correct according to RFC 959 where the EBCDIC type is specified as "E". I'm pretty sure sending B is intentional since we do not perform automatic translaton between EBCDIC and ASCII. Therefore, EBCDIC is treated as a binary file not subject to the automatic translation required by the FTP spec. It's probably not useful to make a change unless the character translation is implemented. However, I'm speaking purely from memory and not from revisiting the code and RFC.
