Can you use ASCII or Binary Transfer mode in SFTP?

No. Secure(or SSH); File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is not FTP. It was defined as an extension to SSH and assumes an underlying secure channel. There is no relationship between FTP and SFTP, so concepts such as “transfer mode” or “current remote directory” that exist in FTP do not exist in SFTP. For the same reason, there is no transfer option when you select 'SFTP Support' on a tFTPxxx component.
