How should I upload files (ascii or binary)?

You can upload files via FTP in two modes ascii and binary. Generally speaking if you can open the file in a text editor then you should upload the file in ascii mode.


Examples of ascii files:
  • html files
  • perl scripts
  • php scripts
  • helix ram files

Examples of binary files:
  • All image files
  • zip files
  • sound files
  • movie files
