apothem Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm using Windows with FileZilla and the text editor I use is Notepad++. Everytime I edit + upload that file, all the new lines are stripped off (at least for the .py files of mine). What is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaav Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You're probably using the wrong file endings. I would recommend using the LF line ending instead of the CRLF line ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr GRD Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 FTP server will always convert new lines for you to the standard used in the system on the server if you send the file in txt mode. So in example if on Windows you use - as xaav wrote - CR+LF, then it will be converted to the LF on Unix system. And when you download it back again it is not converted back by your FTP client so you can notice that file has been change. If you really want to you can avoid it and send all the files in binary mode (you can set it in FileZilla), so nothing will be converted, file will be sent as is. However as this makes no difference in example in PHP or pure HTML or even in .htaccess files, but for such language as Python it may be a problem if you'll use different new line characters (I'm not sure, though). So as xaav already wrote - you may want to use LF for new lines ("Unix format" in Notepad++ options). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
