Hi guys, can you tell me how QSH using ssh/sftp transfer data from iseries? in binary mode? I understood that binary is the default mode, I have to transfer data to an unix server and I don't know if I have to do another conversions or not, the data are currently send by FTP which transfer in ASCII I think and named the files file.csv or file.txt etc

SSH only transfers files, it does not convert formats. The old-timey FTP has ASCII mode which does some rudimentary conversions between formats. However, SSH does not do that conversion, it just transfers the data securely over a network. If you want to convert it, you'll need to do that before you transfer it. IBM provides some tools like CPYTOSTMF and CPYTOIMPF that can be used to transform the data before you transfer it.
