Re: Using FTPAPI with IFS stream files

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

Yeah, that's what I was looking at...

The transfer is being done in ASCII mode, not binary...

I didn't write this particular process, just got called in to help.

We'll get it changed and see what happens.

Looking at the code, it appears if the transfer mode is not binary,
FTPAPI always calls iconv()...

In this case, it would seem that iconv() should have been set to go
from 1252 to 819...I wouldn't have expected that to be a problem, but
apparently it is.  I'm curious as to why...

Thanks!

Charles
