Re: In Perl, How to pass the File Transfermode in SFTP

Hi Yedu,

As others have already pointed out, SFTP defaults to binary mode, in fact older versions of the protocol don't even have an "ASCII mode", so if you don't see the option in your client you probably won't be able to set it.

Do you really need to transfer files in ASCII mode?

If so, you will probably have to implement the necessary conversions (usually line endings) outside of SFTP, before or after transfer.

Hi All, Thanks for your reply. Is there any other possibility to set the transfer mode to ASCII using Net::SFTP::Foreign module or any other modules in the SFTP?	[reply]
