Description

Use ascii 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 either of the following modes:

• Binary mode—For program file or picture transmission.

• ASCII mode—For text file transmission.
