Reading perldoc Net::FTP did:
ASCII is the default
type, and indicates that the sender of files will
translate the ends of lines to a standard representation
which the receiver will then translate back into their
local representation.So I kept the unix line endings on the file and ftp'd to the Novell server and the DOS line endings appeared over there.
For the record, this worked with both 'binary' and 'ascii' translations.

Greetings,
I'm using Net::FTP to move a file from a Linux server to a Novell server. Before I move the file, I have perl change all the line endings from unix-based to DOS-based. The line endings seem to get lost during the ftp process and end up as unrecognized characters (at least when viewing the text file from my Mac).
Trying to figure out how to change this so I can preserve those endings.
Try setting the transfer type to binary. There is a 'binary' method...
