I think you have this opposite. It is always transferred in binary as
there is not any "ascii" conversion (like in ftp clients).

Search for dos2unix or use perl or awk or tr or sed. Google can quickly
find examples:

http://www.vasudevaservice.com/documentation/how-to/converting_dos_and_unix_text_files

If that is not what you are referring to, please provide some more details
or examples.

(By the way, it seems like this list is way slow for me. Sometimes I don't
see emails for days.)
