Either you're tranferring the file in binary mode rather than ascii mode or you can try using this to fix your problem (sorry I'm a PHP man and don't know a better way off-hand).

Save the following as "unix2dos" filename
------------------------------------
PHP Code:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$in = $argv[1];
$out = $argv[2];

$unix_data = file_get_contents($in); //Read the file

$win32_data = preg_replace("#\n#", "\r\n", $unix_data); //Turn linebreaks into carriage returns

$handle = fopen($out, 'w'); //Create new file for writing
if (fwrite($handle, $win32_data)) { //Write the data to the new file
    echo "\n$out created as Win32 compatible file successfully!\n";
} else {
   echo "\nThere has been a problem writing data to $out...\n";
}
fclose($handle); //Close the file

?>
Then simply run:

chmod +x unix2dos
./unix2dos oldfilename.txt newfilename.txt

and voila! A dos compatible file Smilie
