All those solutions are fine, but IMHO, the simplest and best solution
is to simply tell filezilla to upload the file in ASCII. The FTP
protocol already takes into account that different systems handle line
ending differently, and will look after it for you, as long as you tell
it you are transferring a text file. Usually most FTP software will use
binary transfers by default....

PS, of course, if filezilla doesn't support ascii transfers, there are
many other programs that will :) Don't change the editor, just the
transfer application <G>
