I am using eclipse editor to work on my remote files it appears that eclipse editor is set to dos file format, I do not know how to find fileformat set in eclipse editor, but I want it to be set on unix file format.

How can I set file format options to unix file format in eclipse ?

I don't have Eclipse installed to check, but from some searching it looks like there are two things to do.

To change the default format for new files:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> New text file line delimiter

To convert the file that's open:

File -> Convert Line Delimiters To -> Unix
