Resolution:
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Files (Unix/Win) (FA) can be used to transfer file in SFT mode under the following. These scenarios apply only when the file is in ASCII encoding.

1). Transferring files between open systems using the SFT mode.

If you are using the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Files (Unix/Win) to transfer the files between open systems using SFT mode, then ASCII encoding should be used. ASCII encoding should only be used between open systems. With ASCII encoding, a file is sent in chunks and not line-by-line.

2). Transferring files across open systems and mainframe system using SFT mode.

When sending files across open systems and mainframes however, a file needs to be sent line by line. That is because the EOL on mainframe can be different from that on open systems. The file subscriber on mainframes needs to add the proper EOL at the end of every line received. To have the file publisher on the open systems send the file line-by-line, one need to set the encoding to ISO8859-1.
