Setting Your
FTP Client to Automatically Detect ASCII and Binary File Transfers:
Most FTP programs have "AUTO" mode, which will tell the FTP client
to automatically detect the file type you're transferring and will
select the appropriate mode.
By default, most FTP programs will attempt to transfer everything
in binary mode, but when "Automatic" is selected, the FTP client will
check a list of known ASCII extensions, (for example, .pl, .cgi,
.txt).
If it detects one of these extensions, it automatically switches to
ASCII mode.
By Default, most of the well-known files to be uploaded in ASCII
are already entered, however you can manual.htmlly add additional
extensions that you would like to transfer in ASCII mode by selecting
the feature called "Extensions."
Here, you can any additional extensions that will cause the FTP
client to toggle to ASCII mode automatically upon detecting an
extension entered in its list.
Remember, you must set your transfer mode to "Automatic" for this
to work.
