SFTP and ascii mode?

#1 Post by mango » 2004-04-20 12:23

when using sftp and transfering a txt file, the transfer is done in binary mode! (dos linebreaks on unix server)

when using ftp and same file, same server,
the linebreaks are converted to unix linebreaks.

can i use ascii mode in sftp?

thx, bye

Hello,

SFTP in general allows ASCII transfers only in version 4. FileZilla uses parts of the PuTTY suite, which currently doesn't support this feature. Have a look at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... dings.html for details.

Well, if you want to transfer files in ASCII mode to a SCP/SFTP server, you should try WinSCP (http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/), but it isn't as fast as FileZilla.
