We're attempting to FTP a file that consists of one variable length field to a 
Windows machine. The FTP works fine, but the two byte length on the front of 
the record are not necessary on the Windows side, where the records are 
delineated by <CR><LF> pairs. Is there an FTP option or other method to 
suppress these two bytes when FTP'ing to a platform that doesn't need them?

Thanks,
