I am reasking Dan's second question: "Any particular reason why you're
using the data transfer feature?"?
If I were to open the screen source in RDi I can easily save it to my PC's
drive as a stream file. Why would I need to use the download feature?
If that were to save it funky then I can easily copy/paste from RDi to
Notepad or any other favored PC editor and then save that.

I have no idea what OP is trying to do, but I can still address this
line of inquiry from my point of view:

I find that it is sometimes useful to compare, or at least keep a
record of, not just the source code but the source line dates as well.

I'm not aware of any tooling that provides this, so I built my own.
The core idea here is simply to treat a source physical file like any
other table. Use any SQL-based download facility of your choice (I use
ODBC via Python; I'm sure Run SQL Scripts in ACS would work just fine)
to get all three fields/columns. Use or ignore columns as needed.
