When you get a uuencoded file back from BITFTP, it starts with a few lines that look something like the following: > The following line should contain ASCII characters 0x20-0x5F: > !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]~_ The problem is that the second last character of the last line shown here is incorrect. The tilde (~) should be a circumflex (sp?) accent (^). If you receive a file that already has a ^, then you don't have anything to worry about. If you do have a problem, the solution is to perform a global substitution on the file replacing all occurances of ~ with ^ (before you do the uudecode). Thanx to everyone who suggested checking this.
