See: https://dovetail.com/docs/sftp/session-config.html For example: pattern: //*.JCL(*) mode=text You could also make "mode=text" the default for your userid in this file, but then you would need to change it when doing binary. You *can* change settings interactively from most SFTP GUIs like FileZilla - - change directories to the "/+" directory (you will see your current settings) - rename the ".newoption" pretend file in that directory to the option that you want to set WinSCP has unique problems: it starts one SFTP connection for directory displays, and one or more for file transfers. This is a little silly since you can do multiple things at a time on one connection. This means that you can't change a /+ setting in the GUI and have it apply to file transfers. I don't use Windows much, but my favorite SFTP GUI is "BitVise", which includes an SSH emulator and SFTP client.
