dos2unix equivalent in AIX

soulfactory2002 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2005

Hi! Does anyone know the dos2unix equivalent in AIX? I need to transfer some files from my local drive to an AIX machine. For Sun Solaris, we normally execute the dos2unix and chmod command to make the file executable. However, for AIX, this is not the case since the dos2unix command is not available. I hope someone could help me on this one.

When transferring the files, use ascii and you shouldnt have a problem.

I have used the aix doswrite and dosread commands to write files to the diskette drive on the aix server and then read then from a PC without any problems. Just do a man on doswrite and dosread.

My memory may be unreliable, but I think the AIX equivalent of dos2unix is dos2aix.
