Wrong. I just checked: I uploaded three files, each 4096 bytes in length. The first was all control characters, the second was mostly test ("this do be a test" CR LF repeated for 4K's worth), the third was entirely text (leave out the CRLFs). All three came out the same size in the DL directory (which I forgot to note… 4480?) – Bela PS: plus I downloaded an existing file and checked its size+the number of control characters in it against the DL's listed size. The DL listing would have added even more than it did if you were right.
