Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to set file transfer in binary mode in SFTP using Expect? Post 303036288 by jim mcnamara on Friday 21st of June 2019 12:20:10 PM

In binary transfers (default i.e., what you have), data is transferred to the server byte-by-byte with no data
conversion. The \r makes the file a windows text file, which is your problem. I think. Depends on how the system that receives the file looks at it. Some systems use the file extension.

I'm not sure about this one line: log_file -noappend ls.out which seems to be non-standard sftp and/or non-standard shell.

NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] DESCRIPTION
sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer. sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsys- tem declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information. To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file. There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. OPTIONS
Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config. -f log_facility Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH. -l log_level Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equiva- lent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
