And to add even further to the mix ... bear in mind my advice is about operating systems not U2, and my knowledge is UV not UD ...
Are you SURE it's not needed if the source is Linux? Or do you actually mean Linux/x86? Certainly with UV, the OS is irrelevant, what matters is the endian-ness of the chip, so files can be freely copied between Intel machines regardless of OS. (Mind you, you probably can't get U2 for non-Intel linux :-) And nobody has even mentioned the file-corruption issue the OP asked about ... this is *probably* ftp. Could be samba. Anyways, you need to make sure that however you copy the files, you tell it that it is a binary file. If ftp or samba think it's a text file, it will translate between crlf and lf (and cr on a mac, I believe).
