From draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-06:

   SSH_FXF_TEXT
      Indicates that the server should treat the file as text and
      convert it to the canonical newline convention in use.  (See
      Determining Server Newline Convention. (Section 4.3)

Can the client connecting to an EBCDIC server and using this SSH_FXF_TEXT
file open flag also expect that the server will translate from ASCII to
EBCDIC, and vice versa?

If not, why not?

If yes - caveats, details?

Has this been discussed?
