Post example code, and give more details about the way you 
"move a text file" across the network (exactly what command, what
OS, etc, are you using), and explain "jumbled up" in more detail,
and clarify whether by "return characters" you mean ASCII CR (value 13)
or ASCII NL (value 10, as usually represented by \n).

If you read and follow http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 
it may also help us help you.
