The SFTP file-transfer add-on using the SSH protocol on z/OS, at least with the
OpenSSH port, is the only one I know of that allows conversion between the
beautiful EBCDIC encoding and the podunk, 7-bit, toy-computer ASCII encoding.
By default, on z/OS, SFTP is binary; you can elect to translate; you can do
much more with Co:Z. I have never used SCP; I am not quite sure what the point
would be.

Are any of those other platforms EBCDIC?

SFTP, like SCP, is based on SSH. Does it bypass the SSH ASCII-->EBCDIC
conversion?
