The FTP protocol was built to support inter system txt excahnges by
having a common record delimiter used during file transfers for "ascii
mode" transfers and have the sender convert their native format to the
common one and the receiver do the same.

This is why I am somewhat susprised that sftp doesn't have any of that.
