in thread Net::FTP on OSX10.3 corrupting files

No, I haven't yet tried with a vanilla commandline ftp and won't have access to the box till Monday now.. sigh..

re $ftp->binary -- can somebody tell me why this would have become necessary with 5.8.1 and/or panther?

    Unless I'm mistaken, isn't ASCII mode the default hence the reason why you must specifically set binary mode?

      I *thought* binary mode was the default, at least on unices, and it was working just fine as the default until this upgrade...

        I just did a quick man ftp on a Solaris box:

        ascii
     Set the "representation type" to "network  "  ASCII".
     This is the default type.
