where in the Net::FTP docs does it say that? I don't think you will
find it.
I think you will.
By chance, i got the program
to work only when i have the following lines of code inserted:
$bin=$ftp->binary or die "Can not change the Type to Binary\n";
$bin=$ftp->binary;
If I take out any of those lines it transfers in Ascii mode. Why?
I think the server can default to ascii or binary. But then it can be
changed.
Nope, it does as its told.
Thanks

You can set the default server transfer type when you create $ftp
also... perldoc Net::FTP for more details:
$net = Net::FTP->new($host, { Type => 'I' } ); #for example, untested
Wow, thats new to me :-)
