Data transfert from UNIX to PC (Access)

[Markus Grossrieder]

Hi list,

I'm trying to replace an old application who transferes data from a Unix machine
to a PC. Until now, this was made manually, with Reflection/WRQ protocol (very
slow ...). My idea was to compress the data on the UNIX and transfert the
compressed archives via FTP. Now I have the problem that the files on the PC are
in UNIX format (something with CR/LF instead of CR or LF or just the inverse
...).

Question: which is the best way to convert the files;
- on the UNIX (how ?),
- or on the PC (is there any conversion tool, if possible command-line driven
...) ?

The only way I found is
1. load the files in TextPad,
2. Save As ...,
3. File format: PC

Unix version: Digital Unix V4.0e

TIA for any hint, regards, Markus
