| There are two options how to support text mode transfers. The first option is that the client (WinSCP) knows directly the text file format used by the server and converts the file to the format before transfer. The second option is that there is some in advance agreed canonical format to which the client converts the file before transfer and from which the server converts it (if necessary) after transfer to its own format. | There are two options how to support text mode transfers.

| WinSCP can perform additional modifications to the text files during transfer, if configured so. Particularly, it can remove UTF-8 byte-order masks and eof-of-file marks from uploaded files with [[sftp|SFTP]] and [[scp|SCP]] protocols.
