<p>There are two basic file types you can use when transferring files
with FTP: ASCII and BINARY. ASCII files are plain text files. They can have
extensions like .txt or have no extension at all. BINARY files are programs
or other non-text files saved in the file format of the application that created
them or archived or compressed file formats.</p>
<p>If you are transferring
binary data to an existing iSeries™ file, the record length is the record length
of the existing iSeries file.
For example the existing file size should accommodate the new data. If the
file does not exist on an iSeries server, FTP chooses a record length for you.</p>
<p>Certain
files, such as save files, require binary image transfer. If TYPE is not binary
when attempting to transfer such files, you receive a message that tells you
to use binary.</p>
