Cygwin on Windows does allow OpenSSH to be used there. But it does
not address the lack of support in the SFTP protocol for handling
the differences between Stream-Binary, Stream-ASCII, Stream-EBCDIC,
Stream-Unicode, and various Record based file formats used on various
operating systems. SFTP treats everything as Stream-Binary no matter
what.
