If there's a problem for you, I'd like to understand what's going on precisely (server, file format, user agent).
http(s) works fine for file transfer - there's an entire industry (CDNs) built around reliable file transfer over https.
The concept of doing in-flight data format translation in e.g. FTP was an unfortunate hack to begin with, but it was rendered obsolete by unicode many years ago.
Tampering with data integrity is a poor architectural choice when transferring files. If CR/LF is an issue when handling text files, then the solution would be to get a better editor / viewer.
