FASTCopy text mode

Question:

I plan to transfer ASCII files between different platform machines (e.g. Unix to Windows) and wish to make the text files compatible with the target operating system (convert cr/lf to cr and vice versa). What should I do?

Answer:

FASTCopy employs the "-type=text" qualifier to ensure ASCII files are converted and compatible with the target OS.

Example:
fcopy aaa.txt 192.168.6.129:/dev/c/temp/. -user=username -pass=password -type=text

If the "-type" qualifier is NOT specified, FASTCopy will assume the transferred file is a BINARY type file.
Refer to page 95 of the FASTCopy Reference Manual for further details on the "-type" qualifier.
