they are not exactly wrong size.
text files on windows and *nix systems stored slightly differently.
one of them has <cr> and other <lf><cr> at the end of each file(don't remember which is which).
that is why 'ascii transfered' file size on a remote system is different from local.
you can force to trasnfer them as binary too, so they will have same size, however if such case you can end up with files that have extra line feeds or no line feeds.
