– Run:
ascii | binary
The data type of the file to be transmitted is ascii or binary mode.
NOTE
FTP supports the ASCII type and the binary type. Their differences are as follows:
l In ASCII transmission mode, ASCII characters are used to separate carriage returned from
line feeds.
l In binary transmission mode, characters can be transferred without format conversion or
formatting.
The selection of the FTP transmission mode is client-customized. The system defaults to the
ASCII transmission mode. The client can use a mode switch command to switch between the
ASCII mode and the binary mode. The ASCII mode is used to transmit .txt files and the binary
mode is used to transmit binary files.
