TNMFTP white lines in textfile
Hi guys (girls),
I'm working with the TNMFTP component with which I download TXT and JPG files.
This works.
Problem :
If I load a TXT file and read it right after I downloaded it
x : 'filename.txt';
ftp : tnmftp;
list : tstringlist;
ftp.connect;
ftp.downloadĀ (x,x);
list.loadfromfile(x);
ftp.disconnect;
the text file contains
1 line of text,
1 white line
1 line of text
1 white line
etc...
however, if I load the textfile in notepad afterwards, it seems to be fine, and i can use it in any program without any problem.
Basically the same happens for JPG, only this results in a picture that is totally f*cked, pardon my frech :-)
Why is this happening, and how can I prevent it from happening ?

hi guys,
tnx for all the info,
jeurk's answer lead me to a correct solution,
apparently there are 3 modes to choose from in TNMFTP
MODE_ASCII
MODE_BYTE
MODE_IMAGE
first i tried BYTE, which apparently was not supported by the server (unrecognised type error), then I tried the MODE_IMAGE which worked fine for my text files, as well as for my images,so, i'm accepting jeurk's comment as an answer.
Once more tnx for the help,
