OK. What you can do is to use "scp" (or "scpc") instead of "ssh". This
uses scp for copying the files, instead of applying an internal
encoding/decoding.

Due to optimization reasons, "scp" also applies internal encoding/
decoding for small files. This can be changed by decreasing the value of
`tramp-copy-size-limit'. A value of 0 disables this optimization
completely.

Best regards, Michael.
