You mean from a WIN* server to a U*X server...
Do you have dos2ux or dos2unix utility installed?

if you have Notepad++ try using Edit->EOL Conversion->UNIX Format

Or:
Code:
tr -d '\r' < dosfile > unixfile

Code:
us99:/export/home/vbe $ file /bin/dos2unix
/bin/dos2unix:  ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped

open the file through vi

then
%s /^M//g
use ctrl+v for the sign ^
use ctrl+m for the letter M

I hope it will work
