Question : Problem: SFTP dropping special characters (Carriage Returns)

SFTP Problem dropping embedded Carriage Returns hex X'0D' between windows server and unix box via SFTP.  The file starts out on os/390 mainframe (MVS) is sent via NDM to Windows server.  Some attention has been given to the EBCIDIC to ASCII conversion issue (maybe not enough).  Examination of file after it arrives on windows server shows that carriage return characters are still in the file.  When it is sent via SFTP to a unix box in another city, the file has the carriage returns removed.  The combination CRLF are still in the file but lone carriage returns embedded have been removed.
