Scenario:

Text file extracts are being created from a Unix system (via Oracle
Reports) and saved on an nfs share that is mounted from a Windows system
running Windows Services for Unix. The FTP server is IIS.

The file is picked up using ftp from the Windows system and even setting
the type to ascii retains the Unix NewLine instead of NewLine/CR needed
by the Windows system. IE - we need to get an ftp client to get files
from a Windows server but treat them as if they were coming from an Unix
server.

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to force the translation from
Unix to Windows format? Typing "acsii" doesn't do it.

We have looked at unix2dos on the Unix side (unworkable) and flip on the
Windows side (again unworkable).

We would like this to be automatic.  I thought that configuring the
wsftp session as Unix would  overcome the problem but it is too clever
and recognises the system as Windows - and therefore does not do the
translation!

Many thanks
