I'm not sure about the underscore m but a common occurrence is that Windows puts a CRLF character at the end of each line. It displays as ^M. There are a number of different ways to get rid of this.
Open the file in vi and enter :g/^M/s///g Create the ^M by pressing ctrl-v then enter. Use a sed replacement script similar to the above syntax. Change the Windows ftp client to not append anything.

On the Linux side, I edit the file "joe user.diskmap" and out on the extreme right hand side, I have a column of upper case M with an underscore under it. Obvouisly, some sort of cr or lf character. But I can't seem to have the file sent without it. The client doesn't have many options: ftp> help Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are: ! delete literal prompt send ? debug ls put status append dir mdelete pwd trace ascii disconnect mdir quit type bell get mget quote user binary glob mkdir recv verbose bye hash mls remotehelp cd help mput rename close lcd open rmdir I can send the file up to VM without the extra character. When I send a file from CMS to Linux, I also get the character. It seems that the character might be put in by the FTP daemon. I am using vsFTPd 1.2.1 on Linux. Obvious that there is an option in the vsftpd.conf file, but nothing stands out. Does anyone know the fix to this yet?
