ABSOLUTELY use Binary.

A Binary Transfer on a file does NOTHING to the file but transfer it bit by bit.

An ASCII Transfer on a file converts all the codes to Ascii characters before transfering. A binary coded file gets all screwed up at this point.

And since the Archive Logs are NOT ASCII FILES, you would mess them up.

I need to ftp several archive logs from one server to another. Do I need to specify either ASCI or BINARY modes? What difference does this make when ftping files? Thanks.
