Using the freeware ftp client you downloaded in ASCII mode?

Based on the error message when restoring I suspect the file must be transferred in Binary mode.

Provided the freeware ftp client and FlashFXP are using the exact same settings you should end up with two identical files.

I would be interested in comparing the original file and the one downloaded with FlashFXP in Binary mode.

I've conducted some tests with downloading a mysql dump from my webserver and then importing it back. I had no problems when using Binary mode.

When you enable Binary mode in FlashFXP take a look at the status window and insure Binary mode is actually being used.
