Backup on Windows Server with OpenSSH

Hi guys, I am trying to setup a backup destination in WHM to Windows Server 2012 with OpenSSH. I get an error:

Error: Validation for transport "Peall" failed: Could not list files in destination: Cpanel::Exception::InvalidParameter/(XID qyq8wt) "Cpanel::FileUtils::Permissions::String::str2oct" was given an invalid permissions string: rwx******

How I can change Directory Listing from MS-DOS to Unix ?

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options override the
# default value.

Given the fundamental differences between Windows" and Linux file systems, you might have a great deal more success by running an FTP server on the Windows" server and using FTP or SFTP to transfer the files.

Sorry I was not clear. I am using SFTP. The problem is how to force Openssh on Windows to use Unix directory listing instead of default MS-DOS.

The only thing I do with windows these days is look out of them - I haven't touched a Windows" box for 15 years :-D This might help
