FTP XML file using FileZilla = malformed tag on receiving end?

When sending an XML file to our FTP via FileZilla it appears somewhere in the transfer 1 or 2 of the XML开发者_开发技巧 tags are being malformed.

Our client has confirmed on their end that prior to the upload the file is solid and does not have any malformed tags.

Yet on the receiving end when we review the file there are malformed tags. Not missing tags, but tags that have been broken into two lines. The tags (only 1 or 2 total for each file) are random and I'm not seeing any similarities in where the malformations occur.

For example:
<customerNumber>blah blah blah</custome
erNumber>

I'm just looking for any guidance or suggestions seeing that my google searches are coming up empty.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend making sure that you know whether or not your transferring in Binary mode or ASCII mode. Also, is Filezilla using z-mode compression or not? Also, are you sure that the format of your XML is as you would expect: for example, does your XML have a BOM and is it UTF-8 or UTF-16 or ANSI?
