L.S.

cURL v7.3 with SSL for Win32 seems to ignore ascii transfers for download from
FTP:
-B of --user-ascii have the same result, i.e. Image Transfers. A log showing
this is
added to this message.

The remote FTP host is a VMS system. The transfer works with a normal FTP
client.

(I have no possibility to compile anything in WIN32 therefore I just forward the
problem
 to the group.)
