The VM FTP client requires CRLF (0x0d0a) sequences on the wire for text transfers. This is not configurable, as it is a required element of the FTP protocol. Unix-based ftp servers and clients that transmit just LF instead of CRLF are effectively sending the file in binary rather than in the ftp canonical text format. If the Linux ftp daemon is not configurable to operate per the standard, I'd open up a ticket with my service provider.
