Thanks for the response. Ok basically my question is about carriage
returns. What I meant in they "never come out of linux" is this: I
sit here at home on my Windows XP machine. I want to move my files,
say 1.html, 1.gif and 1.cgi, from Server 1 to Server 2, both 3,000
miles away from me, and away from each other. The files are in /home
on Server 1 and I want to put them in the same location on Server 2
(/home).
I ssh into Server 1. I cd /home, and type "tar cvf compressedfile *"
I exit.
I ssh into Server 2. I:
mkdir /home
cd / home
ftp
open Server 1, login, cd /home
get compressedfile
exit
Ok, so then I "tar xvf compressedfile"
I have then, in Server 2's /home, 1.html, 1.gif, and 1.cgi
I exit ssh, all done.
Ok, I am still at my Windows XP pc as the weather is bad and I don't
want to go outside. I have no umbrella, and I hate getting drenched.
I then run ws_ftp. I have 1.html, 1.gif and 1.cgi in my ws_ftp
directory. Originally, 7 years ago, I uploaded them to Server 1,
1.gif in binary and 1.cgi and 1.html in ASCII.
So to remember what 1.cgi looked like, I go to view, & it's opened in
notepad.exe. I see:
Version Info ###
$YaBBversion = '1 Gold - SP 1.1';
$YaBBplver = '1 Gold - SP 1.1';
if( $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /IIS/ ) {
$yyIIS = 1;
$0 =~ m~(.*)(\\|/)~;
$yypath = $1;
$yypath =~ s~\\~/~g;
chdir($yypath);
push(@INC,$yypath);
}
### Requirements and Errors ###
use CGI qw(header cookie); # so we can use the header and cookie
printing
use CGI qw/:standard/;
$CGI::HEADERS_ONCE = 1; # Kill redundant headers
require "Settings.pl";
require "$language";
require "$sourcedir/Subs.pl";
require "$sourcedir/Load.pl";
require "$sourcedir/Security.pl";
I ftp into Server 1, download 1.cgi in ASCII and view it, and see the
same as 1.cgi originally on my Windows XP, from 7 years ago.
I ftp into Server 2, download the file in ASCII, the same way. I see
something a bit like:
Version Info ###$YaBBversion = '1 Gold - SP 1.1';$YaBBplver = '1 Gold
- SP 1.1';
if( $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /IIS/ ) { $yyIIS = 1; $0 =~
m~(.*)\\|/)~; $yypath = $1; $yypath =~
s~\\~/~g; chdir($yypath); push@INC,$yypath);}### Requirements and
Errors ###use CGI qw(header cookie); # so we can use the header and
cookie printinguse CGI qw/:standard/;$CGI::HEADERS_ONCE = 1; # Kill
redundant headers require "Settings.pl";require "$language";require
"$sourcedir/Subs.pl";require "$sourcedir/Load.pl";require
"$sourcedir/Security.pl"; # Those who write software only for pay
should go hurt some other field. # - Erik Naggum
&LoadCookie;
When I pasted the above directly here, in this window, it formatted
like how it looks from Server 1 or on my Windows XP. However, sitting
in notepad.exe, even cut and re-pasted, the formatting is garbled, in
that the carriage returns do not display well.
So I was wondering why this was the case and if there is anything I
can do about this, rather than cutting out the ill formatted ascii
files, pasting them somewhere to get the formatting back, then
repasting them into notepad, and re-uploading them.
Thanks!!
