grr. spam you. grr.

Anybody know crap about unix file transfer?

FA coding requires sending html attachments to FA yahoo account from home e-mail, which I get through ssh to pine on a university unix account. So I need to transfer html files from (linux) home computer to unix account.

SCP, SFTP, and FTP seem to put the HTML files in ascii mode, *even* if I ftp as binaries, which means yahoomail reads them as text files, which is mildly annoying. Is there any way to make them transfer as binaries using command-line (preferably scp)?

If I e-mail directly from home computer address, they are read as html files, and all is hunky-dory, so it *must* have something to do with the upload to unix account.

I may have to just figure out how to set security so I can get mail at home address, and send from there. grr.
