CRLF unix windows ftp notepad wordpad modify file

My app receives a large text file that is ftp'd from a unix system over to a
win server where I pick it up. There does not seem to be any uniform way to
make sure that the resulting copy that I receive has a crlf pair at the end
of each line. Moreover, notepad fails to read the badly formatted lines
correctly whereas wordpad and the internal vfp editor (save with linefeeds
checked) both do ok with the file as long as I save the file before exiting.
Note that word wrap is off in all these scenarios.
I assume that this is an ftp issue that comes up when unix text files are
ftp'd to win platforms, but my tech support assures me that all the ftp
switches are set properly.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Kindly note that I aleady know how
to fix the files, I'm looking to prevent the problem from arising in the
first place.
Thanks.
