Some windoze programs inflict a BOM on you; that breaks existing software. In some cases it is not obvious from the error message that there is a garbage character at the beginning of the file; you have to use an editor that does not swallow U+FEFF .

And irritating. Does "text file" refer to the command file or to the data file? In either case, it shouldn't matter: USASCII is a subset of UTF-8, and there's no reason the commands should contain non-ASCII characters. (Or does Windows inflict a BOM on you?) Is sftp an option? Perhaps the PSFTP component of PuTTY? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
