If you're sure the editor is correctly terminating the lines (s/b
linefeed only), then try putting the ftp client in binary mode (at the
ftp prompt, type: bin <enter>) to prevent conversion during file
transfer. Failing that, on the target system look for a dos2unix
program, or on the command line do:
tr -d '\015' <rcfile >rcfile.new
mv rcfile.new rcfile
That assumes your tr groks '-d'. I don't know if it's a standard option
or not. man tr if you're unsure, or:
perl -pi -e 's/\r//;' rcfile

Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this...reluctantly.
