Usage guidelines
You can perform this operation only after you log in to the FTP server.
The carriage return characters vary with operating systems. For example, HP and Windows use /r/n,
and Linux uses /n. To transfer files between two systems that use different carriage return characters,
determine FTP transfer mode according to the file type.
FTP transfers files in the following modes:
• Binary mode—Transfers program file or pictures.
• ASCII mode—Transfers text files.
