jazzman1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Have you had an opened ftp or ssh connection to the remote machine? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289101-copy-php-files-from-linux-to-windows/#findComment-1482385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzman1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Did you create an ftp account to this domain? If so, all you need to do is to connect to the server via some GUI or console ftp program ( FileZilla Client version is a good choice) and to download files into your local flash drive.

PHP files are simply text files. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289101-copy-php-files-from-linux-to-windows/#findComment-1482426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagguy Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 ok you have made it clear about no (major)issues to expect. So can I conclude you can place text files on either windows/linux without worrying about compatibility issues? With cpanel I have a direct link to files where I can download, why would I use a FTP to just download files when I can do this with cpanel?

Both systems use different line ending but this doesn't generally cause any issue. Its just means that sometimes weird characters show up in different text editors.

I think jazzman1 misunderstood the question / issue at hand.
