When I edit a plain text file on my win client and copy it to my linux
server, the file is in 'Dos format' (vi tells me this when I want to
edit it from the linux server).

How to change such a file into 'normal' linux format?

If you transfer files with ftp, switch transfer type in ftp client to ascii

You could also run fromdos.
i.e.
fromdos <dos_formatted_file.txt >unix.formatted.text.file
