Most likely you're seeing an artifact of the different line-end codes used by a PC vs. Unix. The PC family expects a CR and LF at the end of a line. Unix uses a single LF as a newline character. If you transfer a text file in either direction, you may run into trouble unless you convert the newline codes to the appropriate ones. Some programs (Kermit, NCSA Telnet) do that automatically for text files. Others (Sun PC-NFS) rely on supplied utility programs.
