Filezilla compression bug during upload

Description
Imagine the code:
PHP code
PHP code
PHP code comment from developer - this line does X
PHP code
Filezilla modifies files to this:
PHP code PHP code PHP code comment from developer this line does X PHP code
where last PHP code becomes comment! In all the files.
And why do you turn that compression on by default by the way? It doesn't speed up website - it only makes code less readable.

I'm sorry but I can't agree that it shouldn't be fixed. I upload WordPress theme to server using:
- Total Commander,
- CPanel,
- browser FTP client and
- WordPress Uploader and when I then open any file on server (or download it back to computer) it is unmodified. Everything works.
When I upload the same theme using Filezilla it gets broken. All the files are getting moved to 1 line of code. Even if it's by design - shouldn't you implement some fix to avoid that? It breaks all PHP with comments code on 50% of servers then? Total Commander doesn't do this but it's less common and Windows only, so people prefer Filezilla.
I'm mentioning this because hundreds of my clients use Filezilla and this bug prevents them from uploading files correctly.
According to your article: http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Data_Type
Client and server are supposed to check if line endings will be alright but Filezilla doesn't do this? Total Commander does this successfully.

Can you please be more specific.
1) Which server type (Windows, Unix, legacy Macintosh) are you uploading to?
2) Which client type (Windows, Unix, legacy Macintosh) are you using?
3) Which transfer mode (ASCII, binary) are you using?
For 2, you already filed: Windows. So 1) and 3) remain to be answered.
Can you please elaborate and describe which part of http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Data_Type you do not understand so that it can be improved?

This is a duplicate of #3830.
Not a bug, that's by design. Your server runs a UNIX(-like) operating system which uses a different line ending convention. http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Data_Type
