WinSCP defaults to the binary mode.
It's possible that you have re-configured the GUI to use the ascii mode and your script is not isolated form the GUI configuration, so the change to the defauts affected your script too.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting#configuration

Note: the problem did not occur using the user interface (editor?). We could drag and drop files with no change in the end of line characters.

Prior to the problem occurrence I was uploading a file to a host site via the following script: 
# Connect to sftp server using private and public keys
open [host address] -privatekey="C:\Applications\Production\sFTPKey\ALIProPrivKey3.ppk"
# Force binary mode transfer
#option transfer binary
# Force text mode transfer
#option transfer text
# Set confirmation prompts off
option confirm off
# Upload file to the remote directory
put "C:\Applications\Production\PSALI\UploadFiles\406_7734_C.dat"
# Close and disconnect
Close
Exit

This script has worked fine for close to 7 years. After the upgrade, this stopped performing. We played around with the WinSCP user interface settings but that did nothing to solve the problem. We then took a look at the script above and removed the # from the explicit command option transfer binary. This solved the problem.

As I consider things, I'm not sure why things worked correctly in the past. Maybe that was the bug?

Thank you--

Re: Line Ending Not Preserved (CRLF)

Thanks for your report. When exactly do the line ending change? When uploading? When saving a file in editor? Internal or external editor? Please provide step-by-step instructions to reproducing the problem.

Line Ending Not Preserved (CRLF)

I recently upgraded to version 6.6 beta. Since then the line ending is changing from CRLF on my end to LF on the other end. I made no setting changes when upgrading. The transfer mode is still set to binary. I did notice that the server environment end-of-line characters setting was LF so I changed it to CRLF. (I don't know to what this parameter was set before the upgrade.) This did not have any effect.
