The problem is - obviously - a DOS/Unix conversion taking place in the one case but not in the other. There might be several places to look for a remedy (i suppose you have already checked the transfer mode itself), here is one:
Some ftp clients have a "auto" option where they try to guess if to transfer in binary or ASCII mode. Maybe the heuristics on one box lead to different results than on the other. Maybe they are based on /etc/magic and this file is different.
It might help to enforce binary - or, depending on the desired result, ASCII - mode explicitly to get consistent results.
I hope this helps.

HCOPY(1) General Commands Manual HCOPY(1)
NAME
hcopy - copy files from or to an HFS volume
SYNOPSIS
hcopy [-m|-b|-t|-r|-a] source-path [...] target-path
DESCRIPTION
hcopy transfers files from an HFS volume to UNIX or vice versa. The named source files are copied to the named destination target, which
must be a directory if multiple files are to be copied.
Copies are performed using a translation mode, which must be one of:
-m MacBinary II: A popular format for binary file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. This is the recommended
mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.
-b BinHex: An alternative format for ASCII file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved.
-t Text: Performs end-of-line translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied.
-r Raw Data: Performs no translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied.
-a Automatic: A mode will be chosen automatically for each file based on a set of predefined heuristics.
If no mode is specified, -a is assumed.
If a UNIX source pathname is specified as a single dash (-), hcopy will copy from standard input to the HFS destination. Likewise, a single
dash used as a UNIX destination pathname will cause hcopy to copy the HFS source to standard output.
NOTES
Copied files may have their filenames altered during translation. For example, an appropriate file extension may be added or removed, and
certain other characters may also be transliterated.
The destination target must not be ambiguous; that is, it must be obvious whether the target is on the UNIX filesystem or on an HFS volume.
As a rule, HFS targets must contain at least one colon (:), usually as the beginning of a relative pathname or by itself to represent the
current working directory. To make a UNIX target unambiguous, either use an absolute pathname or precede a relative pathname with a dot and
slash (./).
