Ftp'ed .net application does not run (but runs when xcopied)

I am stumped. Faulty scenario is as follows:

a) I built a .net application on machine1. b) Using FTP (Fi开发者_如何转开发leZilla server & xp in built ftp client) I copy the application + dlls to machine2. c) I try to launch that application on machine2. d) Application does not give any errors but quits immediately. Nothing in logged in event viewer or anywhere else.

Wierdly, the following works.

a) Build .net app on machine1 b) xcopying the exe folder to a shared location and then xcopy to machine2 c) launch the application on machine2. d) Application launches and works as expected.

I am not sure what I am missing.

a) Same thing happenned with 2 different machines b) A different user is NOT running into these issues, i.e, he can ftp and run the app successfully.

Is there any .net CAS coming into picture. This is a .Net 4.0 application. Any suggestions on how else to debug.

Thanks a lot for any help.

You need to set the "binary" option in the FTP client. Otherwise it's going to do funny things during the transfer (like turn every LF into CR/LF [or vice-versa, I don't remember]).
