    I know little about SSIS but I'm sure there's a setting for the line terminators.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    First thing - if the file was previously being sent in a format with CRLF and it changed to LF for record terminator, then I would be asking the sender what changed and why?  If next month they send a file and it is now CRLF and you have changed it to LF - you have a problem.

    Assuming this is the format going forward - you change that in the file connection and redeploy the package/project.  The file connection manager will have a section to define the header row delimiter - the next page will have the row delimiter.  Set those to the appropriate delimiter - using the dialog browse button, browse to the new file and you can then verify the file is being loaded correctly.
