Probably not sending the file using binary format from ncftp NcFTP 3.0.3 (April 15, 2001) by Mike Gleason ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). ncftp> help type type: sets file transfer type (one of 'ascii' or 'binary'). Usage: type [ascii | binary | image] ncftp> I have all but eliminated use of ftp on our network in favor of scp assuming sshd is running on the webserver you can do from the remote machine: scp webservername:/path/to/file/to/be/transfered /path/to/local/dir using ssh-agent or a passphraseless key you can script this and run it from cron. There is also rsync with the --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh option that will use ssh as the transport. Neither of these options use clear text passwords that ncan be sniffed.
