Subject: SFTP from Windows to Unix

 I am uploading a file from a Windows-server to a Unix-server using the Ultimate SFTP component.

 Here is the code – it works fine:

 [code lang='vb']

  'Create a new instance.

   Dim client As New Sftp()

   Dim DestinationPortNr As String = DestinationPortNumberr

  

  'Connect to the SFTP server.

   Dim HostServer As String = DestinationIP

   client.Connect(HostServer, DestinationPortNr)

  

  'Authenticate.

   Dim Bruger As String = user

   Dim Password As String = password

   client.Authenticate(user, password)

  

  'Change current directory to inbox.

   client.SetCurrentDirectory(UploadDirectory)

  

  'Upload local file

   client.UploadFile(FilOgStiNavn, NavnXmlFil)

  

  'Disconnect.

   client.Disconnect()

 [/code]

  

 The file that I move is an ascii-file.

 If I open it in Notepad++ (before moving it) I can see that the format is UTF-8, and the content looks like this:

 Content of file – before the upload (windows environment)

 06105200OP2005481111                                                            

 06105200OP0401601111                                                            

 06105200OP1306642222                                                            

 06105200OP0405962222                                                            

 06105200OP1509012222                                                            

  

 however on the destination server (Unix) it is not readable. It looks like this:

 Content of file – after the upload (Unix environment)

 ********************************* Top of Data **********

 ........|&.............................................................              <<=======

 ******************************** Bottom of Data ********

  

 In my code I have tried to experiment with “TransferMode” and “ServerOS”:

 [code lang='vb']

 Dim RemoteServerOS As String = client.ServerOs

 client.ServerOs = Atp.IO.RemoteServerOs.Unix

  

 Dim Filtype As String = client.TransferMode

 client.TransferMode = SftpTransferMode.Binary

 [/code]

 but without any luck. The file is still looks funny when it arrives at the destination server.

 I have used the SFTP component a lot of times and transferred different files using the same code without any format-problems. I therefore suspect that it is the Unix-server that causes the problem?

 Can you help me please?

 Thanks in advance.
