RE: [h-e-w] Problems using Windows Emacs 21.2 to access UNIX remote files through ftp

Alexandre,

 

You did not say if these files are ones that are created or are existing files.

Although I have not edited files on a system running Solaris lately I don’t believe that has much bearing on the situation.  I have observed that when I create files on a UNIX system with Emacs running on Windows the files are created as DOS files, which will have the ^M characters in them.  I am sure that there is a way to force Emacs to write them as UNIX style buffers, but I do not know what it is and could not find it in a quick scan of the Emacs lisp reference manual.

Subject: [h-e-w] Problems using Windows Emacs 21.2 to access UNIX remote files thr ough ftp

 

Hello,

I am using Emacs 21.2 on a Windows 2000 Laptop.

Accessing Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 8 UNIX remote files with it and editing them often generates ^M characters at the end of each lines of the file.

Can you please tell me if there is an option of ftp to use to specify ASCII file transfer? Do you believe that the problem might come from other issue?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

Alexandre DOLIQUE.
