Depending on options FTP may translate things. Did you do a text transfer or a binary transfer?

Can you transport that file via command line . Try to add BINARY command or not add BINARY .

Thanks for reply. Did not try by command line. But the idea is to make an automated process and run the job everydat

If you have the authorization, SAS can execute command line statements.

X command
