Why does per Net-FTP incorrectly translate text files to NVT when using ASCII transfer mode?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Transferring a unix text file via ftp with the perl Net:FTP module in ASCII mode leads to incorrect data in the transferred file when the source file contains 2 or more consecutive blank lines due to an incorrect transformation of source data from unix text format to the Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) data format.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
  • perl-5.10.1-136.el6_6.1.x86_64
