Hi, I try to fetch text-files on a Unix-Machine (Solaris 8) from a Windows-FTP-Server (Win 2000 Workstation).
In order to retrieve the files in the correct text-mode, I tried to use the addition ";type=a" when specifying the url as is documented in the wget manual. Fro some reason the files still contain newlines in form "CR/LF" instead of the unix-standard "CR". I have already tried various options, I have also compiled wget myself and tried to debug this. I see that the "TYPE A" is sent to the FTP-Server, but the resulting files are not correct. If I connect to another Unix-FTP-Server, doing binary-transfer works as expected (as the two machines use the same format), but if I use ";type=a", then even between two Unix-machines, the text-file is changed to contain invalid newlines! I also tried with the ftp-tool that comes with Solaris, doing ASCII-Transfer from the Windows-Machine with this works, so I don't think the FTP-Server is configured incorrectly. Is there something wrong with how we use wget? The output of the command is: wget --tries=5 --recursive --timestamping --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=2 --level=inf "ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:21/A000KP0T.Y2003013.EDI;type=a" --------------------------------- cut here --------------------------------------------- --14:49:03-- ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/A000KP0T.Y2003013.EDI;type=a => `.listing' Resolving dstadler... done.
