I can not understand this issue. I use ftp to put some files to linux
pcs, some of them always got extra characters like ^M when I opened it
with "vi -b", but some of them do not have. The more interesting thing
is that, when I upload same file to two different linux pcs, one has
the other doesnot. What does this mean, any config can remove this.
thanks.
