ASCII mode FTP (was RE: Fw: error)

[John Esak]

No, Bob,
The real question was/is... how do you select Binary or Ascii mode when
doing an FTP transfer with Anzio. The gentleman says there is nothing but
clicking on the file... no settings or switches or options in sight. Does it
default to binary?
