Transferring php files using ftp

[lapunluyang]

I'm switching hosting providers.

I am transferring my php files from old server to new server using command line ftp (I know, this is ancient, but it works for me)

When I get all of the files on the new server, all of the apostrophes (') are changed to some weird looking control chars.

I tried transfer in binary and ascii modes.

What can I try next?

Thanks

You could zip them, transfer them in binary mode, then unzip them.
