None
Description
Use the ascii command to set the file transfer mode to ASCII.
By default, the file transfer mode is ASCII.
The carriage return characters vary with operating systems. For example, to indicate the end of a line
and transfer to the next line, HP and Windows use characters /r/n, and Linux uses characters /n. The
rules of the specified file transfer mode must be followed by the two communicating systems that use
different carriage return characters so that they can correctly resolve received files.
FTP transfers files in two modes:
• Binary mode: for program file or picture transmission.
• ASCII mode: for text file transmission.
Related commands: binary.
