Use the ";label" option, which includes file attributes such as record size
and number of records, which are placed in the downloaded file on the PC. Then
when the file is uploaded with this same option, this information is used to
build the file on the host using the same attributes, which should solve
your problem.  Note:  Because the file attributes are placed in the beginning
of the file, if you don't specify this same option when uploading, you'll
get this information in the file itself on the host.
