Should I FTP files using ASCII or Binary?
This depends on the type of file you are uploading. Some programs, like WS_FTP Home, permit you to set this to automatic, in which case the program will send the information in the appropriate format. Otherwise, check the file extension (the letters found at the end of the filename after the dot) against the chart below: 
ASCII Binary
