How to disable characters wich are added by the unix system after FTP a file
 
When I FTP a file to a Linix system, the system adds "garbage" data to the file(at top of the file). I'm not a Linux expert but I do now that Linux adds info to each file for it's own interpertation. Does anyone now how to disable this feature when I FTP the file.

Example
File used befor ftp:
$SOH$2003101211430620031012114306108980685401O3$EOH$
UNB+GGOL:2+1089378044:55+ABNANL2A:55+031110:1407+PAY1T1C1DB'
UNH+1+PAYMUL:D:96A:UN:AAB'
BGM+452+33354+9'
DTM+137:20050201:102'


After FTP:

@^&%$SOH$2003101211430620031012114306108980685401O3$EOH$
UNB+GGOL:2+1089378044:55+ABNANL2A:55+031110:1407+PAY1T1C1DB'
UNH+1+PAYMUL:D:96A:UN:AAB'
BGM+452+33354+9'
DTM+137:20050201:102'

Could anyone inform me about this?

Thanx

maybe it's the way you're ftp'ing.

Are you ftp'ing from a windows system? It may be because you're doing something like:
start-run-cmd
ftp 66.666.66.6
user me
passwd me2
cd some/subdirectory/on/a/remote/linus/machine
put filename.txt
bye

And then you find out your file is $h!tE.

BIN. ftp defaults to ASCII, so you may be describing the ASCII corruption.

Log into the linux machine with ftp but before you put the file type "bin" to set binary as the way you're sending the file. See if that works.
