freeware ssh server or scp server for Windows XP that offer Binary & Ascii files transfer
There's Winscp & putty but these are scp client & ssh client.
I've also seen putty's pscp but it's a client running on Windows &
do not offer the choice of Binary & Ascii files transfer.
Q1:
I'm looking for a ssh / scp server that runs on Windows &
if possible, it has a feature to choose between Ascii &
Binary modes
Q2:
Ideally if this ssh / scp / sftp server can auto-detect the
file is text or binary & automatically set to right mode; if
it does not have this feature, perhaps someone can offer
an automated workaround : don't want a Dos2Unix or
Unix2dos utility. I'm transferring files from Linux & HP-UX
boxes to a central Windows PC, so perhaps a Shell script
that checks if a file is Ascii text or binary & then set it to the
right mode for transfer would be good and if it's a "get" (ie
from Windows to Unix), then the script would check the
transferred file & if needed, do the dos2unix conversion
at Unix end.
Have encountered a number of disruptions where the mode
of transfer was not set correctly (or default mode is used)
resulting in incorrect mode being used : script can't be run,
/etc/hosts file at Unix end can't be read (thus IP addresses
on interface not set when Unix box is rebooted), etc etc

The SSH / SCP protocols do not provide a character set transaltion function (Asci mode). All transfers are encrypted and binary.

Freesshd is the closest I can get. I'll post another question for a scp scrpt that will autoconvert
a text/Ascii file before doing scp

I've checked out & installed freesshd but there seems to be nowhere in it to
allow me to specify binary / Ascii mode as I got from the website a screen
shot (see attached)
http://www.freesshd.com
Also, after launching it on my PC, it's running in the background, I can't seem
to call up the screen in the attached to do configuration. What did I miss?
