Samba doesn't do data conversion of any kind.. Ftp, however,might be converting from Unix text format to Dos text format if it's in text mode instead of binary mode. Is this a text file created in Unix that you are trying to open in a Windows program? Or a file you uploaded to the Unix server via ftp and thereby converting it?

The FTP file is correct where as the copied file is an incorrect format. Although I can't see a physical difference, after writing to tape you can see that each record is shifted a space. Is there any setting to control the data conversion across a samba mount?
