Anyway, IIUC, there are two differences (relevant to this thread) between the ftp.funet.fi and mirrors.rit.edu servers: 1) ftp.funet.fi accepts a switch to binary mode prior to logging in, but mirrors.rit.edu does not; 2) ftp.funet.fi automatically switches to binary mode, but mirrors.rit.edu does not (despite its claim to the contrary). Further, I gather that none of that calls for any action on our part. > Niko, who thinks FTP is long obsolete and should just die... Yes - this would probably be the first time in 10 years that I've dragged Net::FTP out of the vault, and I'm not at all tempted to continue using it. Thanks for straightening me out.
