TIPS
 Make
a backup copy of the file before
editing.
 Use vi Editor directly on the server or use
FTP software to transfer the file locally and
edit in Notepad.
 Never edit with Word, WordPerfect, etc.
You must use Notepad or it will add hidden
characters.
 It’s
important to select the correct transfer
mode in your FTP software:


Use ASCII mode for text files --- files ending
with a .cfg, .ini., .htm., .txt., etc.
Use Binary mode for image files --- files
ending with .gif, .jpg, etc.
Increase the Timeout
 The
default is 3 minutes. Ex Libris
suggests no longer than 10 minutes in
order to avoid excessive connections to
the server.
