you're prolly talkin' about windows EOL \r\n (u'll see your "junk" char as ^M)
if so
perl -i -pe 's/\r$//g' filename will clean it

we are using OPenSSH version of "3.7.1p1" for remote execution between unix
and windows.
here we are using SFTP for transferring files from windows to unix box.
But the files which gets transferred to unix side contains junk characters
as there is no provision of binary transmission in sftp.
I think you have this opposite. It is always transferred in binary as
there is not any "ascii" conversion (like in ftp clients).
can anyone help us in this regard as how to eradicate the junk char while
transmission of files.
Search for dos2unix or use perl or awk or tr or sed. Google can quickly
find examples:
http://kb.iu.edu/data/acux.htm
http://www.vasudevaservice.com/documentation/how-to/converting_dos_and_unix_text_files
If that is not what you are referring to, please provide some more details
or examples.
(By the way, it seems like this list is way slow for me. Sometimes I don't
see emails for days.)
