Until you bother yourself to read and understand the RFC

You are making another incorrect assumption.

    There is no assumption, You made it very clear that you either haven't read or didn't understand RFC 959 when you make dumb statements like:

    "Your supposition that your transfer tools should be able to handle all necessary conversions for you is just wrong-headed."

    in response to a description of the standard FTP protocol since at least 1985, and continuing through all the revisions to date.

    You further make it clear by the way you cite no references; quote no authorities; just the world the way bones sees it.

    And that's ass-back'ds. A figment in the mind of a bones with a dogged nature. Too small-minded to admit your mistakes, so distract; digress; dissemble. Anything but stick to the subject.

    'nuff now. You bore me.

      I wasn't responding to your description of FTP. I was responding to your example which you seemingly didn't grok was an inappropriate use. Which, by the way, made it abundantly clear you didn't understand relevant RFCs, particularly this passage from 959:

      It should be noted that FTP provides for very limited data type representations. Transformations desired beyond this limited capability should be performed by the user directly.

      Between missing simple facts like that, conflating the use of the word "text" in different contexts, and your examples of exactly how one should not use FTP... your blabbering about "ass-back'd" and "figments in the mind" are downright silly.

      Too small-minded to admit your mistakes

      And that's good for a real elle-oh-elle. Thanks. I like to leave laughing.

        And once again your misunderstanding is manifest. You've quoted from a section that has nothing to do with the discussion.

        The section you've quoted from relates to how to resolve dealing with the required 8-bit data stream on 9-bit byte/32-bit word machines -- long extinct.

        The section you should be reading is 3.1.1
