Line endings issue

Hi,

When I edit a text file with a double-click, line endings are converted from Unix format (LF) to Windows format (CR+LF), no matter the transfer mode I use in preferences (auto or binary). I checked the downloaded file to be sure it was not because of my text editor (Notepad2).

I post this issue because there's a work around : first download the file, edit it then upload the new version. Line endings will not be converted (in extenso, don't use a double-click).

Regards

Version : 4.2.7
OS : Vista Family Premium SP 2
Transfer protocol: FTP, SFTP
GUI interface style: explorer
Remote system: UNIX Type L8, no compression

Make sure you do not have Force text transfer mode for files edited in external editor option enabled in editor preferences.

Oops, I missed this one. Thank you, Martin.

And sorry for this false bug report.

Regards.

Hi Martin:
I am using the internal editor. When I edit a remote file, it opens fine with no CR-LF problems. But after editing and I save the file to the server, the file size increases and upon inspection using vi, there are additional ^M characters appended to the end of each line. I think the editor is OK, but when I save the file it is in binary format.
I am using 4.2.5 and did not have this issue with previous versions.
Even if I use an external editor (notepad or wordpad), the file is always saved on the server with CR-LF.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi - I read your information o "Environment" and changed server settings from CR-LF to LF.
UTF-8 I left on Auto.
I should just search the forums and read before posting...
Thanks!
