Hi
This is reg tha file upload problem .The problem i am facing is whenever i upload a word document innto my server(Redhat linux 6.2) via FTP or server side scripts, the non aphabetical characters get converted into their ASCII equivalent.(Page break gets conv into ---Page Break--- and so on).The document is not getting corrupted it is getting formated.But if i Zip this word doc it works fine.All other uploads(.txt,.gif,.jpeg work fine).Is there any setting problems????

I'd turn binary mode on. It should help.

Make sure you use "binary" mode BOTH ways, not just to upload.

Yeah, do not use ASCII for the uploading. Instead of it, type "bin" in the ftp console, and everything should work fine. Thanks
