You can use the od (octal dump) command on UNIX or Linux to look at the values
of each byte in the file. Use the -c option to output printable ASCII
characters as themselves, carriage-return and newline as "\r" and "\n", and
other control characters as octal values. For example:
od -c myfile | less

Transfer the file in BINARY mode instead of ASCII. Use the "bin" command in
your FTP client to do that.
