[lug] How do I convert a DOS file to a UNIX file?

[Scott Lockhart]

Folks,
Due to strict DMZ requirements at a particular client,
I am not allowed to ftp UNIX files from one Linux server directly to
another.
Instead, I have to ftp to a general staging area, copy to a Windows 2000
server,
burn a CD-ROM, then mount the CD-ROM on my DMZ'd Linux Server.
Major pain in the a**!

When I go to edit the file on my destination Linux server,
it is now recognized by "vi" as a DOS file!
I suspect this is being done by the CD-ROM burner as far as setting a
file format.
I have tried specifying an ISO 9660 format for the CD-ROM,
but all this does is mess up the file names to the old 8.3 format,
and the files themselves still get whacked into a DOS filetype.

How can I convert a file designated as a DOS type, to a UNIX type?

Thanks in advance,
Scott Lockhart
