FTP bridge and unwanted DOS carriage returns

Hi, I am using the MindTerm app expressly for the
FTP-to-SFTP bridge, in order to use the site admin
feature of Dreamweaver MX (ver. 6.1), which doesn't
have native SFTP support. My hosting site doesn't
permit regular FTP.
Everything is working well, with one mildly bothersome
exception: when I use Dreamweaver's internal FTP
through the bridge, text files (e.g., HTML pages)
are put with unwanted carriage returns (Ctrl-M's)
at the end of each line. The web host is a Unix
server (FreeBSD).
Well, this is certainly bothersome. It doesn't
make serving the pages stop working, but it's just
not what should be happening. Moreover, I have
some textfile scripts served on some of my sites,
and these are expected to be downloaded for use on
other Unix servers, and the Ctrl-M's will be
a definite problem in those files.
I've looked all through the menus and don't see
a solution. For the record, when I use regular FTP
(to another site, albeit also Unix) from Dreamweaver,
the unwanted carriage returns are not there. So
it is definitely the bridge that is causing their
appearance.
Thank you,
Dallman Ross
