Re: gVim converting Unix file Write To DOS Format

sftp.conf had ascii mangling commented out. I uncommented it and answered NO; and restarted the daemon, which probably amounted to the mangling directives being commented out.

This appears to be a gVim problem, because command line ftp from one system does not cause the file type to be altered.

Thanks again.
