Been so many years I forget the syntax but you might be able to force the other end to behave appropriately. TYPE E and MODE B for binary stuff, yes. But look into "QUOTE" and "SITE" commands in the FTP client for sending "TYPE I" or "TYPE A" and the like over to the server.

I hope this helps.
But honestly, I really dislike FTP these days. Have for a long time.
Where I have sign-on, I use 'scp' instead. Where I don't, I use HTTP/HTTPS. (And you can throw data sets over the wall to/from USS.)

it was fine. Next iteration (new trace file) I could not get it to work at all.

It looks like Windows FTP server is convinced the file is "mixed" (even when I 
chtag -r it) and thus not doing translation.

I realize this is confused, but that's because I'm confused; I'm used to FTP 
and Ascii and Image and MODE B TYPE E and like that, and think I've tried all 
options. The fact that it worked once is almost worse.

Ideas?
