I've sshed into Server A and Server B from Windows Vista. I've sshed into Server A and Server B from Windows XP.

In all 4 cases, when I edit a file with nano, the first line does not show up in nano and if I save the file, the first line is not saved (often losing important data!)

Use od -c on the first 100 or so bytes to find out. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jun 22 '11 at 15:23
What program are you using to ssh from Windows? – uSlackr Jun 22 '11 at 16:16
Is there something special about the files you're editing, or is this reproducible with all files? – blahdiblah Jun 22 '11 at 16:35
What version of nano is this? (nano -V) – blahdiblah Jun 22 '11 at 16:36
@blahdiblah it's happened with at least 2 files – Matt Jun 28 '11 at 3:40
