Unix vs windows file




















Because both the carriage return and the line feed are needed to start a new line, the text will be all mashed together when you try to open it up in Notepad. So obviously we need a way of knowing which format a text file is in, and we need a way of converting between the two. For this you will need to look at the actual hex codes in the file.

I'm an insane person who likes to mess around with computers and write about it here. I'm a geek of all trades and don't like being limited or restricted to one topic, so if you're coming here expecting some predictable cookie cutter shit, you're going to be disappointed, sorry. I like to experiment and I like to try new things. I will stay mostly within tech though, so that's one thing you can be sure of.

There is no "unix-encoding" but many linux-variants use UTF-8 as the default encoding.

Mac OS which is also a unix uses its own encoding macroman. I am not sure, what windows default encoding is. In addition to the new-line differences, the byte-order mark can cause problems if files are treated as Unicode on Windows. If you see strange unexpected chars not at end-of-line then this could be the reason. Especially if you see square boxes, question marks, upside-down question marks, extra characters or unexpected accented characters.

On unix, files that start with a. On windows, it's a filesystem flag that you probably don't have easy access to. This may result in files that are supposed to be hidden now becoming visible on the client machines. File permissions vary between the two. You will probably find, when you copy files onto a unix system, that the files now belong to the user that did the copying and have limited rights.
