When transferring files using FTP there is the binary option and the text option. If you are using reasonable FTP tools, then you should be able to specify text transfers. The whole reason for that mode is to translate things like line endings. I generally have my FTP defaults set to binary so that things like .pdf files don't get ruined but this is a case where you want the other option.

If I were at a Mac, then BBEdit would be my editor of choice. In fact, if I were at the Mac, I would use the Mac Tango editor directly. Note that Tango ".taf" files are not editable in a text editor because they are tokenized.
The problem is, I am doing the editing remotely - on a PC. I can connect with Timbuktu, but that seems so kludgy since everything else works through FTP.
So my question still stands ...
