FTP Filesize VS PC Filesize

Strange thing I just noticed: file sizes on HTML files are different on my FTP client and on my computer. Same thing with most text based files. Textfiles, PHP files, JS files... those are the ones I checked but it probably applies to a lot of other extensions. Flash files, however, have the same file size both on server and computer. Is this some kind of built in compression in the server software? Maybe Linux and Windows do something different when handling the files? In Windows there are two file sizes listed, the File Size and the File Size On Computer. How the file suddenly becomes larger when on the computer is a mystery to me, never thought much about it before, and that both of these sizes differ from the size shown on the FTP client is an even bigger mystery. Any ideas?

Nobody has spoken.
