Alexandre,

I forgot to consider the most obvious method to force the file type, use the find-file-literally function (M-x find-file-literally) to open any new files that you create on remote systems.

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.
