Sorry, but we have no intention of supporting the later
SFTP versions. In fact, adding "text" transfer modes to the
protocol was the proximal reason why we don't - we consider it
a bad idea.

There are 3rd-party sftp servers you can use with OpenSSH that do support
the later drafts if you can't bring yourself to convert things on the
endpoints.

Thanks. There are a lot of features of the real FTP protocol which
might be desirable, but the inline rewriting of file content has
always been a very dangerous, easily misused one.
