| As different platforms (operating systems) use different format of text files, many transfer protocols support special mode for transferring text files (called text or ASCII mode). In the mode the file is not only transferred, but also converted to format used by the target platform. The mode must not be used for binary files (including document files from modern text processors, like Microsoft Word), as they must be transferred without modification. | As different platforms (operating systems) use different format of text files, many transfer protocols support special mode for transferring text files (called text or ASCII mode).

| - | WinSCP offers you the chance to select between //Text// and //Binary// transfer modes. It is set as one of the [[transfer_settings|transfer settings]]. | ||
| - | WinSCP also has a special //Automatic// mode (default). With this mode WinSCP decides automatically about transfer mode for a particular file based on its filename (usually the file extension). The so-called text file mask can be configured in dialogs mentioned above. By default it includes %%HTML, TXT, PHP, XML, INI, C, CPP%% and other file types. You can modify the mask as you need. | ||
| - | Files not matching the mask are transferred using //Binary// mode. | ||
