Hm.  So, let's see:
You'd expect to be able to open two FTP sessions to the same server,
set the mode to "binary" in one session, transfer a file in the other
session, and expect the mode to be binary, yes?  I don't think the FTP
spec says otherwise, so....

And do you know ANY Internet protocols where that happens?
