| Use //End-of-line characters// to specify text file format used by the server. To allow [[transfer_mode|text mode transfers]], WinSCP needs to know the format of text files. Generally there is plenty of text file formats, almost every platform has it own format. WinSCP supports two most used formats, Unix and Windows. As most servers are run on Unix system, generally you may leave the default Unix format. If your server runs on Windows, select the Windows format. If you do not use text mode transfers, the option is not important for you. | Use //End-of-line characters// to specify text file format used by the server.

| - | With [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]] the option is used to counterweight time difference between [[timestamp|timestamp]] of remote file shown in directory listing and timestamp set on downloaded file, and vice versa. The difference is caused by fact that during transfer ''scp'' command usually uses UTC time format, while ''ls'' command may display time in local (for server) time format. The time difference can be negative. For example if the timestamps of remote files are two hours ahead of local files, set the option to -2 hours.
