FTP from the Mainframe to Windows

[gzurn]

When I FTP from the mainframe to windows it converts the carat (^), which is required as a field separator by the vendor, to a µ (I am not even sure what this is).  I need to put the file in an editor and do a change all from µ to ^.  That is no big deal for the small files I am currently dealing with but when I have larger files thay won't fit into the editor to subsequently allow me to change them.  Do you know of a way to avoid having to do this?

Thanks

Interesting that it switches the ascii character in transit. A quick fix may be a batch file to search for all instances of the wrong ascii character and replace with ^ so that you dont have to manually do this.

Thanks ... we found the solution ... using a ascii hex 5F worked.  It somehow switches this hex value to a carat '^' on the Windows platform.
