FTP bridge and unwanted DOS carriage returns

[Per Allansson]

Hi all,

I have made a couple of fixes/enhancements for
the FTP-to-SFTP bridge that you might want to
try out:

     o FTPOverSFTP: handle ASCII transfers properly.
     o FTPOverSFTP: ignore options to LIST/NLST.
     o FTPOverSFTP: added support for SITE CHMOD.

It also contains the fixes from Dino:

     o Fixed bug where progress bar went nuts when transferring > 2GB.
     o Fixed terminal lock-up.

The updated MindTerm can be found here:

Please try it out & let me know if you still experience problems.

Rgds, Per
