There are two common ways to transferring files via FTP: ASCII
and binary. ASCII mode transfers files as
text. Examples of ASCII files include .txt,
.asp, .html, and
.php files. Binary mode
transfers files as raw data. Examples of binary files include
.wav, .jpg,
.gif, and mp3 files.
To change the transfer mode, click + or +.
For FTP transfers, you can also click +, click the FTP tab, then select the option.
