Environment: Linux
Problem:
- When opening the incompletely copied file in the server, it looks like there is a "^M" character in the place of new line.

Check whether the variable newLen is 512 for every read operation and write operation. – akhil May 20 '13 at 04:15

it is because I have an else if statement that catches that if it is not. – EasyQuestions May 20 '13 at 04:28

Use newLen != 512 instead of newLen < 512. Also use BYTE buffer instead of char buffer. – akhil May 20 '13 at 04:34

^M (one character) is 0x0D
NewLine char on Linux is 0x0A
NewLine char on Windows is 0x0D 0x0A (2 characters)
So 0x0D,0x0A will be displayed as ^M,NewLine (depends on which editor you use, what I said is correct with VIM)
BTW, if you want to input a ^M, you need to press ctrl+v, then ctrl+m (In VIM)
