I would bet the problem is end-of-line convention. This is a very old problem
of text file conversion that has many solutions, none of which should be
addressed by R. Rather, you should use any of the many standard file transfer
mechanisms that understand EOL issues in text files, rather than transferring
the data as if it were binary data. Email is one such mechanism, FTP is
another. Many text editors can also fix this for you. It is possible to fix it
in R, but that is a very bad approach. Google is your friend.
