Unable to preserve carriage return line feed as message separator when doing FTP file transfer from Windows to Unix where Cloverleaf resides. I use file protocol for the interface pulling the file and the file does not find the carriage return line feed separating the messages. I have made sure FTP is set to binary. I inserted hex 0d for segment separator and hex 0d0a message separator in UltraEdit and then saved. I then transferred using Reflections and ensured transfer type set to binary. This used to work on an old version of UltraEdit and Reflections.

Sounds like you understand the challenge since you are aware you need to FTP in binary mode to keep the CR-NL in a DOS file being moved to UNIX.
hcihd is also a good command to confirm what you think you see is really true and it will display the contents of the file on your UNIX server in an ASCII/HEX type dump.
You said the older version of Ultra-Edit worked so check your newer version of the Ultra-Edit file handling configurations to make sure Ultra-Edit is not being too smart.
Another thing to be aware of is that Ultra-Edit can FTP edit and save files directly on your UNIX server (File -> FTP -> open or save).
I think this is one of the strongest features of Ultra-Edit.
One time I had a vendor using Ultra-Edit on my Windows PC to simultaneously edit/copy/paste
– a TCL proc on his server in Berkley, California
– another file in Canada
– a file on my Cloverleaf UNIX server in Houston, TX
– local DOS text files on my PC
– an EBCDIC file on a mainframe
and make it seem as if all the files are DOS text files on my Windos desktop.
I origanlly got Ultra-Edit because of this feature so new hires did not have to learn vi right away and could be productive quicker.
The preference setting I look for in Ultra-Edit to stay out of the type of trouble you are describing is to make sure I check the box in the screen shot below that says
“Save file as input format”
