How you upload is the important factor. You need a method which will convert from MSDOS format to unix. If you do not have suitable software you need to convert the file on the unix server.
You will get better response from technicians if you provide the basic facts. In this case it would help to know which two Operating Systems are involved and what software you use to transfer files.

MTOOLS(1) General Commands Manual MTOOLS(1)
NAME
Mtools - a collection of tools for manipulating MSDOS files
SYNOPSIS
mattrib - change MSDOS file attribute flags
mcd - change MSDOS directory
mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
mdel - delete an MSDOS file
mdir - display an MSDOS directory
mformat - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted diskette
mlabel - make an MSDOS volume label
mmd - make an MSDOS subdirectory
mrd - remove an MSDOS subdirectory
mread - low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix
mren - rename an existing MSDOS file
mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file
mwrite - low level write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS
DESCRIPTION
Mtools is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix systems to read, write, and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem (typi-
cally a diskette). Each program attempts to emulate the MSDOS equivalent command as closely as practical.
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by a colon, a subdirectory, and a filename. Subdirectory names can use
either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them
from the shell.
The regular expression "pattern matching" routines follow the Unix-style rules. For example, '*' matches all MSDOS files in lieu of '*.*'.
The archive, hidden, read-only and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern matching.
All options use the '-' (minus) flag, not '/' as you'd expect in MSDOS.
The mcd command is used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to the MSDOS filesystem), otherwise the default
is assumed to be A:/.
SEE ALSO
mattrib(1), mcd(1), mdel(1), mformat(1), mrd(1), mren(1), mtype(1), mcopy(1), mdir(1), mlabel(1), mmd(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)
BUGS
An unfortunate side effect of not guessing the proper device (when multiple disk capacities are supported) is an occasional error message
from the device driver. These can be safely ignored.
