samba - Jan 2007 - escape character

Hi All 

I have samba 3.0.23d installed on a AIX (5.2) UNIX server and have
mapped a network share on my PC'er.(Windows XP)

My problem is when adding simple text files from my PC'er to the share
and want to edit them in a 'vi' editor, there have been added a escape
character (^M) in the end of each line in the file. Its properly a
'carriage return' or 'line feed' conversion problem.   

It's the same as when ftp transfer a file from Windows to the Unix in
binary mode. When transferring files in Ascii mode there is no problem.

The Unix server is running a ISO8859-1 charset. 

Can any tell me if there is a setting in SWAT I can set to prevent this
escape character?

Many regards 
Anders Birkmose

No, Samba does not do this. recode, unix2dos and so on are
utils to do this on the server side.
