I have strange problem with .nfo files transfered in ASCII mode.
When I download nfo or sfv files from OpenFTPd 0.31 server (linux) using FlashFXP in ASCII mode nfos which are more then 12 kb long ( ie. 16931 bytes) are cut to 12704 bytes.
Then when I set to transfer .nfo in binary mode downloaded files are correct in size.
This problem are not releated to .nfo which are 11 kb and less in size.
Should I transfer .nfo in binary mode? I was reading that txt files should be transfered in ASCII mode. Which mode should I choose??

* FlashFXP v[3].[3.1], build [1089], [x]registered, [ ]unregistered, [ ]pirated
* OS [x] WinXP, [ ] Win2K, [ ] Win98, [ ] WinME, [ ] Other
* Running behind NAT/router [ ] Yes & Model [ ], [x] No, [ ] Not sure
* Running firewall [x] Yes, Name [Sygate Personal Firewall Pro], Ver. [5.5.2710], or [ ] No

if you can provide me with a test account, i'll be happy to do some testing on my end. Just send me a private message with the details. Also you might want to test with another ftp client to determine if the problem is specific to FlashFXP, it could be a ftp server bug.

After further testing we determined the problem is with the ftp server and not flashfxp.
