Use vi to create a file. Zip that. Move the zip file to the pc and unzip it. Is that ok? Can you find a small file that will demonstarte the problem? Once you have a sample that fails, bring the txt file back to unix and compare with the original. What changed? Did characters get corrupted? Did characters get added? Use od the view the binary equivalents of the characters involved. Post the results of all of this and maybe something will become clear.
