I haved this problem with netscape before, it sometimes converts line feeds to
a line feed and carrige return.   &0a to &0a&0d. with some files if also
changes " to /quot or somthing, it depends on the file extension.
It may be worth useing a FTP program instead.

It is also worth noting that VMS FTP adds a &00 character to the end of 
each file. I had to go through be sets to remove this character from each file
except the last one in each set. RiscBSD seemed to ignore the &00 if it was on
the last disc.
