Text mode, when transferring from Unix to Windows, converts all \n to

them downloaded them as text. This will result in an extra set of \n's
being added.

Just use jEdit's FTP plugin :-)

Yes, but jEdit can read files containing both line ending formats (as
well as Mac files, which contain \r only).
