FAQ

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

The problem is that not everyone knows what a ftp client is.  They think
that they can download files using Internet Explorer (IE) so that's all they
need to know.  It's IE that causes the problem most of the time and you
cannot tell IE that the file is binary and you wish to undertake a binary
transfer.

Usually from what I know when folks use a browser to download files they
are automatically binary format.  If you use a windows ftp client such as
voyager, ftpx, ws_ftp, etc you can set biary or ascii mode by buttons on
the application.  Again, usually they are pre-defaulted to binary.
