ASCII mode for scp

[douglas.manton at uk.ibm.com]

Folks,

One feature of FTP that was useful in my environment was the ability to
add/remove LFs from ASCII files when moving them between PC and UNIX
systems.  I use scp in place of ftp wherever possible but have to manually
"tr -d" them on the other side.

Any way to implement this feature as an option?  If the file has CR/LFs
then strip or if the file has CRs add.

    e.g.   scp -a localfile.txt me at remotehost:remotefile.txt

Many thanks,
