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, so the FTP transmission mode must be
applied to ensure the correct resolution of the files. For example, to indicate the end of a line and transfer
to the next line, the H3C device system and Windows system use characters /r/n, and the Linux system
uses characters /n.
FTP transfers files in two modes:
Binary mode: for program file or picture transmission.
•
• ASCII mode: for text file transmission.
Related commands: binary.
