iigs emulator HD file wont boot on real iigs?

Spent a couple hours setting up a hard drive image for a iigs using the Gsplus emulator.  When I transfer the file to my tnfs server and try to boot it using my fujinet it doesn't recognize the file.  I just get the no boot devie screen.  Any thougts on what I am doing wrong?  File has a .hdv extension.  FIle boots and runs with no issues in Gsplus.  I have noticed that it's 32,768KB in my Gsplus directory.  When I tranfer the file using FileZilla using sftp it shows 33,533KB after the tranfer.  Is the file really growing in size??  Thanks, Chris

Based on my hunch that the

Based on my hunch that the file size increase was a clue I tried copying it directly to the SD card in my fujinet and that file boots fine in my iigs now.   Guess this is a sftp file tranfer issue of some sort.

BINARY

When troubleshooting FTP problems always remember that the 'ASCII' or text mode performs line feed conversion. You want to type 'IMAGE' or 'BINARY' every. single. time. you use ftp.

Thanks, I think you nailed it

Thanks, I think you nailed it.  Was set to auto file type and it kept picking ASCII.  Manualy set it to Binary and the file sizes are correct after transfer now.
