Type
ASCII
The ascii command should be used 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 required, based on the operating system at the destination.
BINARY
In BINARY mode, no character conversions occurs.
