Force Binary on OpenSSH 3.5P1-1

Hi there!
I have a little bit of a problem with the getting files from a windows system to a unix system and vice versa!
We are using the SFTP-Subsystem to transfer files from a to b. We are running our server on linux, but the files are going directly to a samba mount on a windows box.
They are comming from an AIX environment. the problem we are currently facing, is the fact, the the files are textfiles and the transmission seems to be set ASCII. Does anybody know an option on either the client or the server to force a a binarry transmission? (this has to be for OpenSSH). the version affected is:
OpenSSH Client 3.4P1-1 on AIX

OpenSSH Server 3.5P1-1 on RedHat 7.3
Unfortunately I don't have any influence on the client, only on the server.
Does anyone have eny experience with this?

thnx

Marco
