Transfer the file in BINARY mode instead of ASCII mode.

Hmmm....

Can you re-check that your file was really transferred between two boxes?
Do both systems run linux?

Can you count characters in stead of lines?
Are you sure your editor / viewer does not add the extra newline for you?

Transfer from system a -> b -> a.
If the files are the same, your problem is not ftp.

Shalom,

Few ideas here.

The Windows ftp client defaults to ascii and mangles binary files when you transfer them in ascii mode.

Using sftp part of openssh, which is standard with Linux and can be added for free to Windows solves this problem because sftp is smart enough to not mangle files.
