Why is it when I retrieve a file from an ftp server through the Unix shell (tcsh) the file is always corrupted. Usually I'm getting a .sit file, and stuffit says it can't work with it because it is not a compressed file. When I get the very same file using the FTP app "Transmit" the file works perfectly. Here's my tcsh transcript:
ftp> get Finished.sit
local: Finished.sit remote: Finished.sit
227 Entering Passive Mode (XXX,XXX,XXX,XX,X,XX).
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.

File may not have transferred correctly.

ftp> exit
I suspect it is something to do with the "ASCII" mode, since a .sit file is a binary file. Or something else?
