    Ummm, I'm not using FTP just transferring the file from one disk to another.

    Can I specify ASCII with the cp command?

    due to current problem s i dont havfe linux handy to test tjhis on,
    but it could be as simple as:
    cat file > sum_other_file

    DOS/WinNT/Win9x uses Linefeed + Carriage return at the end of lines, Unix only uses Carriage Return IIRC.

    To fix the file try
    sed 's/.$//' filename > newfile
