I send a Windows file using FTP to a Unix system and got appended ^M wherever a new line was intended, and I just want to remove them.
One method which I can opt is to run dos2unix command.
Can anyone suggest another method like sed command to remove such patterns?

Windows line endings consist of the two-character sequence CR, LF. CR is the carriage return character, sometimes represented as \r, \015, ^M, etc. A Unix line ending is just the LF character.

A very simple use of the ftp client would be to specify the server's hostname on the command line: ftp hostname. Then use ftp commands ls and cd [directory] to navigate in the server's directory structure and use get [file] to fetch the desired file.

You might use lftp instead of the regular ftp client. With lftp you can use mget -E /path/to/files which will delete the source files after succesful transfer.
