creates double-spaces in a file when I download from server using FlashFXP.

@BigStar, thanks for the recommendation. I will set it to Binary Mode.

One thing I noticed by carefully looking for the filter settings in FileZilla, that they don't include PHP files for ASCII mode by default. Perhaps this is the reason why there isn't a problem with that client app.

One more question to you BigStar?

When I set FlashFXP to download in Binary, in Notepad++ it displays the formatting of the file to be Windows/DOS, where the original file was formatted for UNIX. Is there a way to also fix that? Or is that still normal?

I don't know what kind of settings MS FrontPage has on it's built-in FTP, but when I use that to backup my site, the files are all perfect UNIX / without space lines in between.

Also, I found this explanation about Pure-FTPd, which my server seems to run (according to the info provided in the above Session Logs). May be something you guys can read? http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7008378

Are you 100% sure the file was downloaded in binary mode?

If you are then most likely the format of the file on the server was changed from UNIX to WINDOWS.

You can change the format within Notepad++
Under Edit > EOL conversion > Unix format

Save the file and upload it, then re-download it with FlashFXP, it should be in Unix format.
