Maybe some invisible? :-)
Are the sizes of the archived and downloaded files the same?

Yeh, there's no visible difference.

But if I try to view the page after download then upload it gives me an error. If I simply upload a copy already archived on my desktop, the file is fine.

This suggests to me upload is fine, but that download is messing something up.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. But clearly there's a problem with a default setting, or the program itself, with downloading.

But, there must be difference. Otherwise you would not have the problems.

But sure enough, the problem is consistent, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

I also tried the same files with several other FTP programs. The problem only exists with WinSCP (my favorite).

I'm wondering if there's some setting I'm missing. But all I could think of was text vs binary download. But that's clearly not making a difference.

Can you check what had happend to the file during the transfer? I.e. compare the original and the uploaded file.

Hi - I am switching from FTP Voyager to WinSCP. Great program!

However, my files are getting corrupted on download.

Any php file I download, and then upload, gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS in homepage/test.php on line 1

If I upload a version of the same file previously on my computer, all is well. Download seems to be what's messing it up.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Sam

UPDATE: I've tried switching between Text,Binary and Default. No effect. Downloads are still being somehow modified or corrupted.
