Sorry to ask this here, but since it affects my transfer of scripts between my machine and clients, it's a sort of Perlish question and I thought others may have experience of it :)

Some sites I connect to force me to use passive mode when using FTP, some don't. I sometimes forget to change mode locally, or can't remember whether the server requires passive or not (probably more likely :)

Sometimes, it seems I can transfer files, even if I'm in the "wrong" mode, but when they get transferred, they get corrupted, with (seamingly) random parts of the script getting repeated throughout.

I'm using GFTP to up/download. To keep this short, is this:

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Or should I just get a different FTP client? If so, recommendations?

thanks
