Sets or displays the file transfer type. The ftp command supports both ASCII (default) and binary image file transfer types: - We recommend using ASCII when transferring text files. In ASCII mode, character conversions to and from the network standard character set are performed. For example, end-of-line characters are converted as necessary, based on the target operating system. - We recommend using binary when transferring executable files. In binary mode, files are transferred in one-byte units.
