I'm using ssh and sftp into a Solaris 9 machine.

With ftp I can set the transfer mode between ascii and binary like this

ftp> ascii
200 Type set to A.
ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp>

But in sftp I don't see that command available.

sftp > ascii
Invalid command.
sftp > binary
Invalid command.

How do I switch between ascii and binary transfer mode in sftp or is
it automatic?

Thanks much!
