[ale] Using TAR Question

[Brubakken, Eric]

Yesterday I downloaded a TAR file to my winbox. I then did a binary ftp to
the Linux box.  When I run tar -x filename the system just sits there,
nothing happens.  I seem to remember something about win/dos treats end of
line as cr/lf and Linux just a lf.  Could this be the problem? Isn't there
some type of utility that I can run against the file that might correct
this?

Clueless.....


Thanks

Eric
