Linux file that does not have "CR" at the end of the line, appears as it had one

2026-07-02 23:55

Every time i opened a Linux shell script, in the right window of the application (the one that shows the server files) WinSCP shows a "CR" character at the end of all lines that DOES NOT EXIST. If I copy this file to my computer, and open it again using the left window of the application, the phantom "CR" character disappeear.

Forgot to say: using WinSCP 6.6.2 RC in Windows 11
Note: same problem in version 6.5.2; older version (don't remember what) did not showed this bug.

Thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce the problem.

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.
