When using FTP to transfer a text file to an AS/400 system, you may see the message, “Extra data found at the end of the record.” Only one line of the file will transfer in this case.This happens when the transfer mode is set to binary. To send a text file, you must set the mode to ASCII. It will then successfully transfer the file.
