Binary FTP corrupts tar-packed ASCII files
I have some ascii files on a unix-box (aix) that are quite large that I need to transfer to my windows-server to be imported in to a adtabase on a regular basis. I use basic dos-prompt ftp and when I transfer the ascii-files using ASC transfer mode everything works fine.

However, when I compress the files in tar-format I have to transfer usin BIN to be able to uncompress the file on the recieving end. When I uncompress the tar-file and open up the ascii-files they are "corrupted" in the same way as if I transferred them usin BIN mode directly without the compression.

Any clues on what I can do to work around this...?

Is it possible that the file is not properly created before the FTP process tries and takes it?
