Can you show me an example of software that uses this "norm"? Any FTP software I know has a text/binary switch.

How to do a textmode transfer but not have the conversion?
The key is to un-tick an option in the Editors tab that reads 'Force text file mode for files edited in external editor' which can be found when you click 'Edit' on your external text editor. Hope it helps others :)
Hi,
This a little old I know but I've been going through a similar problem editing Unix files in notepad++ through WinSCP without those being converted to a Windows EOL format.
Every time I opened I a file from WinSCP with Np++ (not transferring it but opening it directly) I found that it had silently added CRs even though I absolutely did not want this. However the transfer was working fine.

I have a text file in windows that I am transferring to Linux using batch script. I have transfer option binary set but still a empty newline is added at the end of the file. Not sure how to deal with this?

command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.Every time I opened I a file from WinSCP with Np++ (not transferring it but opening it directly) I found that it had silently added CRs even though I absolutely did not want this.

Is it possible that only the download is in binary mode, but the upload is occurring in ASCII mode?
OK then. The internal editor of WinSCP does not preserve line endings. You can use any external editor you like instead.
