When should I upload in ASCII or binary mode?

Frequently Asked Questions | fiverivers solutions ltd : Web,...
Your file extensions will help guide you with this and most FTP client programs will auto-detect the transfer type. If your files are readable in a text editor such as Notepad, you can safely upload them in ASCII mode, if the programs are compiled or executable programs such as pre-compiled CGI scripts (written in C for example), audio or video files (.mov, .ra, .avi, etc) should be uploaded in binary mode.

Are all files transferred in the binary mode, or can I switch to ASCII mode?

Web CEO FTP Uploader transfers all files as binary -- this ensures that they are compatible with all server types. See similar questions...

What is ASCII mode?

FTP FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ Wysardry
In ASCII mode a file may be changed slightly to maintain the meaning of EOL (End Of Line) characters. UNIX machines use a single line break character at the end of each line, whereas Windows systems use a line break and a carriage return. Perl CGI scripts are particularly fussy about being uploaded in ASCII mode (the extra carriage return inserted by Windows systems messes them up otherwise). You may need to add file extensions to the list of files it uploads in a particular mode. See similar questions...

What is Binary mode?

FTP FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ Wysardry
In Binary mode a file is copied bit for bit from one machine to the other. Both files (the original and the transferred file) will contain exactly the same sequence of bytes. See similar questions...

Can PSCP or PSFTP transfer files in ASCII mode?

PuTTY FAQ
Until recently, this was a limitation of the file transfer protocols: the SCP and SFTP protocols had no notion of transferring a file in anything other than binary mode. (This is still true of SCP.) The current draft protocol spec of SFTP proposes a means of implementing ASCII transfer. At some point PSCP/PSFTP may implement this proposal. The eventual goal is for PuTTY to be a multi-platform program, able to run on at least Windows, Mac OS and Unix. See similar questions...

How do I set the unit to operate in Binary mode?

Technical Support
Simply hardwire connect the Memory Recall Port (MRP) terminals numbered 5, 6 and 8 to the COM terminal. This will enable the unit to accept binary memory recall input and yield 24 memories. See similar questions...

What's the difference between ascii and binary modes?

FAQ - mhc.comp.questions
Binary mode transfers the file exactly the way it is. This is for files such as images. Ascii mode is for plain-text files such as HTML and other web documents. It changes the file format from your computer's (Windows or Mac) to the server's (at MHC, UNIX). If in doubt, use binary mode. Your HTML won't really care, but it'll make a huge difference to your animated gifs. See similar questions...

What does BINARY and ASCII mean for the upload ?

Acceso FTP a través de tu navegador: Web2 FTP.com
You must use this mode for everything that contains binary data as pictures and other files that are not text only. This mode is preset at www2ftp. This mode is used for transferring text files. If the server is running on Unix you must use this mode for text files as the line endings are different. The ASCII-mode will convert the line endings to unix line endings removing the "CR" from the file. See similar questions...

How can I open a stream in binary mode?

Input/output via <iostream> and <cstdio>, C++ FA...
Some operating systems differentiate between text and binary modes. In text mode, end-of-line sequences and possibly other things are translated; in binary mode, they are not. For example, in text mode under Windows, "\r\n" is translated into "\n" on input, and the reverse on output. Note: input >> c discards leading whitespace, so you won't normally use that when reading binary files. See similar questions...

Would MACB be macbinary? What determines whether it connects in ASCII or Binary?

Security News [Archive] - MacGurus Technical Forums
for georgie's directory...the problem is that I can't list the contents at all. It's the empty set "/". Perhaps it has made the home directory the root by default, but denied access by making the whole thing invisible. I feel like I need to somehow tell the daemon exactly what directories george can access. I tried to follow the instructions on the link (http://www.pureftpd.org/README. See similar questions...

Q 7. How do I import generic ASCII or binary data?

Frequently Asked Questions about Slicer Dicer Scientific Sof...
A 7: Importing generic ASCII or binary data into Slicer Dicer can be confusing the first time around. The main thing to remember is that Slicer Dicer imports data only, NOT coordinate values. It requires that data be evenly gridded; for example, if you had spatial data in a 3-dimensional xyz volume, the delta-x intervals have to be the same throughout the volume, as do the delta-y and delta-z intervals (though they can be different from each other).

edit] How to send a binary PostScript file to an ASCII-only printer?

PostScript FAQ - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textb...
Sometimes it is impossible to re-create the file as 7-bit ASCII but any file is easy to convert to ASCII stream and execute it through the corresponding decoding filter. The following script converts standard input to hexadecimal stream and adds the decoding code. All DSC comments will be hidden but most printers ignore them anyway. The script was tested on bash and GNU/Linux system. See similar questions...

What is ASCII?

FAQ: Search Results - Shop Floor Automations
ASCII is the most common format for text files in computers and on the Internet. In an ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special character is represented with a 7-bit binary number (a string of seven 0s or 1s). 128 possible characters are defined. UNIX and DOS-based operating systems (except for Windows NT) use ASCII for text files. Windows NT uses a newer code, Unicode. IBM's System 390 servers use a proprietary 8-bit code called EBCDIC. See similar questions...

How can I "reopen" std::cin and std::cout in binary mode?

Input/output via <iostream> and <cstdio>, C++ FA...
Unfortunately there is no standard way to cause std::cin, std::cout, and/or std::cerr to be opened in binary mode. Closing the streams and attempting to reopen them in binary mode might have unexpected or undesirable results. On systems where it makes a difference, the implementation might provide a way to make them binary streams, but you would have to check the implementation specifics to find out.
