Correct. I was asked to install the latest engineering image to
test my original problem against before they would work on my
original sftp problem.

Although I am still on V5.6 ECO5, the Engineering supplied sftp
image has significant enhanced functionality. I don't know how
much of that functionality (namely the ascii mode conversion) is
present in V5.7 ECO3 which is the latest released version. If this
new functionality is present in ECO3, I don't know if that version
works correctly or not.

That's a very good question; I don't know if ECO3 is affected.
It's what I am trying to find out by asking my questions here.

Simon.
