Hello Community,
I am building a recipe to transfer text/flat files to a legacy FTP server, and the requirement is that the data must be sent using ASCII transfer mode to ensure correct line endings.
I have a question about the built-in Workato FTP/FTPS Connector:
Does the Workato FTP Connector's "Upload file" or "Download file" action have a setting/parameter to explicitly select the transfer mode (ASCII or Binary)?
If yes, where is this setting located (Connection config, action step, Advanced settings)?
If there is no explicit setting, what is the default transfer mode used by the Workato FTP Connector?
I am specifically concerned about ensuring Windows-style line endings (CRLF) are converted correctly to Unix-style (LF) on the target server (or vice-versa), which is the primary function of ASCII mode.
If ASCII mode is not supported or selectable, is there a recommended workaround (e.g., a formula to explicitly convert line endings before the transfer) to handle line-ending conversion for text files?
