Transfer Type

Select whether you want to transfer the files as ASCII or binary during an FTP session. You should select ASCII when you want to transfer files that contain text strings, such as .html, .txt, or .xml. You should use Binary when transferring executable files, such as Office documents, .Exe files, and so forth. In binary mode, files are transferred in one-byte units.
