SFTP does not handle ascii files, you'll need to do it in your client. Depending on which client you are using, there is probably a setting to tell it to transfer ascii files and which files it should consider ascii by extension. If you aren't moving the standard .txt files, then add your extension to that list. I noticed that some clients, like Filezilla, don't convert the files like it seems like they should. WinSCP works well for that.

It is a pain to run dos2unix utils when there are a few hundred files. I did not experience issue when using ftp to transfer files from windows to *INXs systems Is there a switch or ssh_config configuration setting to suppress the Crontrol-M during transfer ?
