File Manager Extract causing PHP files to get double lines

When I use the Extract function in File Manager, PHP files are being extracted with double lines. Example: 51407 The file should look like this: 51411 The source file is a ZIP file I download from xenforo.com, it the latest version of their forum software. I upload the ZIP using Dreamweaver and then I use File Manager and Extract. I have tested on two different web hosts so I suspect this will be an issue with cPanel. Thank you.

  Hi Andy, I'm unable to duplicate this on a cPanel v70.0.23 server. What version are you on over there?

  Thank you for testing. I tried on two different web hosts: 68.0.33 and 11.62.0.40 -> shared web host with GoDaddy

  Please use TextEdit to view the extracted file. When viewed inside cPanel using File Manage -> View the PHP file looks normal.

  To be clear, you uploaded the zip, extract it, then selected download > Open with text edit, is that right?

  Thank you for checking. Here are the steps I took: 1) cPanel -> File manager -> Select ZIP file -> Extract 2) Dreamweaver (or use some other FTP program) -> download one of the extracted PHP files. 3) Open PHP file on my iMac using TextEdit.

  That's exactly what I've done above, sans dreamweaver, I don't use it.

  I was able to solve this issue by changing the "Connect using" from FTP to SFTP.

  That setting is in Dreamweaver I take it? Interesting that the connection type would have an effect here with this.

  The etc/ folder under the username was somehow moved to public_html/ so once that was moved back I could no longer FTP, so once I changed to SFTP in Dreamweaver I was able to FTP and also the issue with extract was resolved.
