Hi All,

Currently I'm utilising Net::SSH2 perl script to sftp file from Windows to Unix server. However, after transering the file, the file is having an extra character (^M) at the end of each line as the sample below. 

0146669944 502126920956715 1^M
0146456870 502124950748150 1^M
0142811862 502122912649310 1^M

Is this due to the file format that's being transferred is in binary format and not in ASCII? If this is the case how do i incorporate the change of the file type from binary to ascii within the script below?

use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::SSH2;

my $datafile = "D:/ETL/RPT/MD/IMSI_SICAP.lst";


my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new;
$ssh2 -> connect("192.100.100.238") or die ("Error");
$ssh2 -> auth(username => 'user', password => 'aaa') or die ("Error");
$ssh2 -> blocking(1);
$ssh2 -> scp_put("${datafile}IMSI_SICAP.lst","/timesten/IMSI_SICAP.lst
+")or die ("Error");
$ssh2 -> disconnect();

Would really appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks.
