Probably gaining/losing <CR> characters. Look at the file in a hex
editor before and after transferring, see if one vertion has 0x0d 0x0a
at the end of each line ("DOS format", CR LF pairs) and the other has
0x0a at the end of each line ("UNIX Format", LF only).

make sure you use bin mode or ascii mode as appropriate...
