Unix2???

Hi,
can you help me to remember a command :
unix2 ???

It is to convert a Windows file to be used in UNIX.
My problem is that I have a file generated in Windows and I send it to Linux machine. The file has unreadable caracter when is opened in VI or by more command. Any solution ?
Thanks before.

"dos2unix" should be what you are looking for...

Hello,

dos2unix and unix2dos are the commands.
But most ftp's are doing the transfer the right way.

If you're using rcp, you have to convert the files.
