Binary upload switches to ascii when resumed ?

Dear reader,

I'm using WinSCP to upload daily back-ups to HiDrive. Yesterday the binary transfer was interrupted and resumed. The final result on the ftp server is correct, the file 100% matches the local file.

But looking in the log I noticed that the resume uses ASCII to upload the remainder of the file. Is that correct ? Because I explicitly specified binary transer ?

WinSCP logfile is attached

Upload is done using the following BAT snippet.
    set mywinscp=c:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe
    echo option batch abort>"%winscp_script%"
    echo option confirm off>>"%winscp_script%"
    echo open ftpes://username:password@ftp.hidrive.strato.com/users/backup-6061/TripBuild/>>"%winscp_script%"
    echo put -resumesupport=on -transfer=binary "%backupfile%.zip">>"%winscp_script%"
    echo exit>>"%winscp_script%"
    "%mywinscp%" /console /script="%winscp_script%" /log="%winscp_log%" /loglevel=1 /ini=nul >> "%logfile%" 2>>&1

Re: Binary upload switches to ascii when resumed ?

There's no transfer after reconnect.
WinSCP retrieves directory listing only (using ascii mode). And only to find out that "File transfer was completed before disconnect". So not transfer resuming really happens.
