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.
