  Hi all

     There are a couple of ways I've done this.  One was by using a ftp
program.  If you have
Debian already installed, you can use xftp or wxftp-gtk(non-free
section).  Both seem to work well.
If you don't have Debian installed yet, you can use Net Vampire, from
win95, which detects whether a file is binary or text automatically (see
http://kulichki.rambler.ru/~vampire). Also, if you're using Netscape,
you can hold the shift key down while clicking on the file, and it
should copy the file exactly.(In my experience, this works sometimes and
not others).

Hope this helps.
