ASCII ftp transfer contains ^M

ASCII ftp transfer contains ^M

[lau bella]

Hi all,

I installed Cygwin 1.3.10 in w2k advanced server
(SP2).

I create a DOS text file A with notepad in PC. The
size of file A displayed as 80 bytes in DOS prompt. I
used ASCII mode to transfer file A to the w2k advanced
server (using Cygwin ftp server). The size of file A
displayed as 80 bytes in Cygwin. When I use Cygwin
command 'dos2unix' to convert file A. The file size
changed to 75 byte.

File A may contain ^M characters. I want Cygwin
convert file A from DOS format to UNIX format
automatically after ftp. How can i do that, any
setting needed ?

thanks

For any possible settings needed, I'll direct you to the FTP
man page.  If there's a way to do it, it will be listed there.
In general, this is not a Cygwin issue.  It's a general FTP 
issue.  You would have the same result if you used a native 
Windows FTP server.  Cygwin's FTP server will create native 
text files just like a Windows FTP server will when text mode
transfer is selected.
