Is your server Windows or Linux? The UBB.threads files are distributed in Unix text format, so if your server is Linux, you can transfer them in binary. (Unless you've done something to explicitly convert them to Windows text format.)
Donate to UBBDev today to help aid in Operational, Server and Script Maintenance, and Development costs.
Please also see our parent organization VNC Web Services if you're in the need of a new UBB.threads Install or Upgrade, Site/Server Migrations, or Security and Coding Services.
