ASCII. Any old text file created in notepad (Windows) or vi (UNIX) or any other text editor will do.
And there is no "right" extension. Call the file anything you want. Then supply that file name to SQLLDR. You can even do it with no extension if you choose. The .ctl extension is pretty common but that is just a convention; nothing more.
