The standard SSH and SFTP protocols (and most implementations) *only* do binary.
z/OS OpenSSH is extended to do limited ASCII<->EBCDIC translation. - it automatically translates "shell" sessions, remote command execution, scp (client and server), and adds "ascii" and "binary" commands to "sftp" *client* command. Some Windows SFTP implementations also handle CRLF<->LF mappings.
