| <note warning>For **Windows** clients editing files on Windows desktops and then transferring them back to the cluster, you may find that your file becomes "corrupt" during file transfer process. The symptoms are very subtle because the file appears to be okay, but in fact contains ''CRLF'' line terminators. This causes problems when reading the file on a Unix cluster and generates very strange errors. Some examples might be a file used for submitting a batch job such as ''submit.qs'' and one you have used before and know is correct, will no longer work. Or an input file used for ABAQUS like ''tissue.inp'' which has worked many times before produces an error like ''Abaqus Error: Command line option "input" must have a value.''. | <note warning>For **Windows** clients editing files on Windows desktops and then transferring them back to the cluster, you may find that your file becomes "corrupt" during file transfer process.
