SSH NEW File creation is different ( Notepad++) as vs direct Edit under NANO

Hello

I created a "config.gateway.json" with some rules that was created with Notepad++ that was not recognised by my Unifi Linux Controller.

I manage to get it fixed by just Cut & Pasting the Same rules into my SSH Nano Editor and the Controller accepts the File.

Is this bug in Winscp transfering via SCP or could it be Notepad++ doing something to the file ?

Can you download the file back (in a binary mode) and attach it here, for us to check?

If you use notepad++ on a windows machine and nano on a Linux machine you may use two different code pages. On windows notepad++ uses ANSI as default. Try to change Encoding/Kodierung to UTF8, which is used by Linux as default. Convert and save the file again.

??? can't you cut & Paste it as json is not allowed for upload
That won't help. We need to see an exact binary representation of the file.
