[svlug] Problem in FTP

[Anagha Tongaonkar]

Hello Folks,

I am using a bash script that uses ftp command to transfer
file "report.txt" from machine A to machine B.
However, after executing this script, at the receiving end
the file size seems to have increased.

Source
report.txt on machine A:
-rw-rw-r--    1 user   group        1166 Aug  2 17:35
report.txt 

After FTP using the bash script:
Destination
report.txt on machine B:
-rw-r--r--    1 uesr     group          1232 Aug 03 00:36
report.txt


As you can see the destination file size (1232) is greater
than the source file size (1166).

Any idea, why is the file size different on the source and
destination?

I will appreciate your helpful answers.

Thanks,
Anagha

PS: The bash script for the FTP is as follows:

#!/bin/bash
cd /u1/file-dir
echo "pwd: $(pwd)"
ls -l

#STEP 3 FTP into B and copy the file there
Filename1="report.txt"

Server="A"
Directory="/u1/anagha/ftp-test"

Username="anagha"
Password="abc"

ftp -v -n $Server <<End-Of-Session
user $Username $Password

pwd
cd $Directory
pwd
put $Filename1 

ls -l
bye
End-Of-Session

echo "*****After the FTP file transfer"
