Hello Everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the Get URL ("ftp://...") and one
particular file.
I have a tab-delimited text file with 227 lines. Call it theFile.txt.
I have a copy on my local Mac at home, and I've placed a copy on my
remote Mac at the office. When I use the handler below to get the file
from the remote server, it appears in the field in my stack as one long
garbled line; in other words, it looks like I've lost the return
characters. When I tried to import other text files that were already
on the remote server, they come through fine. When I import the file a
local folder, it is fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Gregory
