Whether using ASCII transfer mode in FTP while transferring files from one linux based system to other linux based system changes LF to CRLF
1 Answer
I believe that a ASCII based transfer will allow the receiver of the files to dictate what the line terminator character(s) is when storing the file. Thus a transfer from linux->linux should leave line terminators the same....BUT a transfer from linux-->Windows will translate a \n to a \r\n terminator.
End-of-Line: The end-of-line sequence defines the separation of printing lines. The sequence is Carriage Return, followed by Line Feed.
