Subject: using ftp trims off trailing blanks


We are using ftp to transfer a file from the iSeries to another computer
(non-iSeries).  We transfer a database file that contains one record that
is 512 bytes long.  The file is transferred to a text file on the other
machine.  When the file is transferred the record length is truncated to
the width of the longest non-blanks record in the file (i.e. it is
trimming trailing blanks).  How can we transfer this file and preserve the
record length?
