simple problem: ^M appending in all lines while ftp from win to unix
i saw a single line command, now not able to recall and search also not helping.
what is that command..?

[Mel Burslan]

command you are looking for is dos2unix or some variation of it.
it is available on both windows and unix platforms. just google the term dos2unix or unix2dos.

you will come up with many sources.

There is the dos2ux command, which strips trailing ^Ms from lines. You could also go into vi and do :%s/$//

Simply run the command ux2dos against the file after it is transferred to your unix machine. Do a man on ux2dos for details.

Hi,

if transferrin ASCII files from WIN to Unix, do not use mode 'binary' but 'ascii' -
just enter at the ftp prompt:
ftp> asc

or as I easily forgot

/usr/bin/dos2ux myDOSfile > myUXfile

[IT_2007]

you can edit that file with vi and remove ^M characters

:g/ctrl-vctrlm/s///g
