File Transfer Modes
•You can select one of two file transfer modes—ASCII or binary—that you want to use before transferring the file.
•
•ASCII text contains symbols typed from the keyboard but does not include any nonprintable, binary codes.
•
•Many files such as pictures, movies, sound files, and graphics are binary.
•
•Choose ASCII mode to transfer plain-text files.
•
•Choose binary mode for transferring everything else.
