Setting ASCII mode in Jsch

Question

I need to overcome a Unix - Windows file format (LF to CRLF) issue I\'m currently having. The ftp client I am using is Jsch from Jcraft.

The documentation online is

Answer 1

The text mode flag was added to SFTP protocol version 4. Jsch currently supports SFTP protocol version 3, which doesn't specify a text-mode flag.

You can see a list of SFTP specification revisions here. The RFC for protocol version 3 is here. Note that OpenSSH, the most widely used SFTP server, only supports protocol version 3 as well, and doesn't support line terminator conversion. So having the flag in Jsch wouldn't be very useful.
