Most probably because Solaris ftp had a default mode of "binary" whereas Linux ftp has "ASCII" or thereabouts.
ftp (the command, not the protocol) has two modes: "binary" sends files as they are. "ASCII" becomes aware on which system type it runs and translates line-ending sequences to the respectively correct sequence on the target system. I have written a
lengthy explanation about what is going on and why which you can read if interested.
Perhaps the Linux ftp can be configured to do the same as the Solaris client did.
I hope this helps.
