"The ssh command performs ASCII<->EBCDIC conversion (for pedants, 1047<->819). I'd expect that to be IBM-specific. Probably not relevant to security, but additional code that must be supported in an IBM instance, or conditionally bypassed if the sources are merged."
SSH defaults to binary transfer. For the issue below (1047-819 translation) a text mode transfer would have to be specifically requested. It is presumed that someone that knows enough to request a text mode transfer would be aware of the translation issues. ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
