Re: Auto-conversion when transfering shell (script) files from Linux/Solaris<--->Windows?
WinSCP can convert the EOL sequence. But it does not perform any encoding conversion.

Auto-conversion when transfering shell (script) files from Linux/Solaris<--->Windows?
I am planning to use WinSCP to transfer shell script files from/to
Unix/Solaris/Linux<----->Windows
Does WinSCP perform automatically (!) some file format conversions during such a transfer?
E.g. ANSI<--->UTF-8 or UTF-8 BOM or UCS-2 ?
From what I know Solaris and Linux only accept UTF-8 format as valid shell scripting file format.
In former times I have had difficulties when I transferred such file via ssh command.
How can I check (in WinSCP) what kind of file format a remote file currently has?
