Pedro, for upload and/or download of text files you should use ftp in text mode. This will convert the line endings automatically. Perl scripts are text files. Therefore, perl scripts always should be up- and downloaded in text mode. Cheers Stephan -- Dipl.-Chem. Stephan Tinnemeyer

Re: Auto-initialising a client-side download

Shannon, I think your main intention is to enforce the clients to download the file instead of just display the content. You may achieve this by compressing the file to e. g. zip-format. Compressed files always will be downloaded first and then expanded. Cheers Stephan -- Dipl.-Chem. Stephan
