Re: Binary vs ASCII for uploading

Errr... never heard of changing the mode can solve the ftp transfer :)
but generally binary is meant of not text / ascii data. while ascii is
typicall text based related.
so is the uploaded data .exe work? I suspect not.

IIS 5 and above support upload append or download resume feature.. so if you
client ftp app able to do that, i'm sure you can continue the append when
uploading file.

Hello,
Recently, I've been unable to upload a 7MB .exe file to a Windows
server; the connection would drop with an ABOR error about halfway
through. Someone suggested uploading as ASCII instead of binary. Tried
that last night and it seemed to work. I don't know much about
internals here but could someone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Bill
