Hi all,

When we FTP a set of records on to a Server from Mainframe, the file gets an additional line representing EOF, I guess. Is there any way so that we can get rid of this additional line when we FTP.

MF File
1 10XXXXXXX
2 20XXXXXXX
3 30XXXXXX
4 40XXXXXXX

Output Text File

1 10XXXXXXX
2 20XXXXXXX
3 30XXXXXX
4 40XXXXXXX
5

Line numbers are used as reference

Thanks

I couldn't find anything listed:

AFAIK that is mandated by the protocol.

Just a thought: convert the data from EBCDIC to ASCII before transmitting it. Include whatever characters you need to for EOL and EOF. Transmit the file in BINARY mode.
