MAC OS 9 Line Endings

    After building a site locally and FTPing it to the target domain I discovered that a number of files in the includes directory and includes/admin directory were using MAC OS 9 format for line endings. Not a problem for editors but apparently FileZilla didn’t recognize them correctly and they ended up “incorrect” at the target location.

    Everything works fine if you install it through WP of course and I only mention it here because it took a bit of time to figure out what the problem was and I’d not seen that line ending used recently. Not all of the files seemed to be impacted but I didn’t look at them all

    Were you seeing an error similar to “syntax error, unexpected end” on the site after uploading?

    This can happen when using FTP to upload the plugin using BINARY or AUTO mode instead of ASCII.

    Yep, that was it. As it turns out a number of the plugins had the same issue with one or more of their files so I simply deleted and reinstalled. Have done this many times in the past but this was the first time it had happened to me. Lesson learned. Thanks for the quick response.
