compare file size between windows and unix
When you copy a file from Windows to unix and the file already exists on unix, you are prompted if you want to replace the file.
File attributes are shown including the file size. The windows size includes both CR and LF, but the unix size only has the one. So it gives the appearance that the windows file is larger (sometimes by quite a large amount)
Would parsing the file to count the characters that would actually be transmitted take too long?
