All, When the files are transfered from Windows to Unix files are transfered as binary and Control-M (^M) character append to the unix ascii files. Is there a way to deal this in Samba?

Unlike, say, FTP, it isn't meant to "transfer" them -- merely a means to access them. While you certainly can transfer from (say) Windows to a *nix system, that's "merely" a side effect, and one that Samba -- which never touches the files themselves (as opposed to the files' metadata) -- doesn't "care" about. I suggest if you're attempting to use it to transfer files from Windows to *nix (or vice-versa), you write a Perl/sed/awk/whatever script to strip/append your ^M's. $.02, -Ken
