ABSOLUTELY use Binary.
A Binary Transfer on a file does NOTHING to the file but transfer it bit by
bit.
An ASCII Transfer on a file converts all the codes to Ascii characters
before transfering. A binary coded file gets all screwed up at this point.
And since the Archive Logs are NOT ASCII FILES, you would mess them up.

I need to ftp several archive logs from one server to another. Do I need to
specify either ASCI or BINARY modes? What difference does this make when
ftping files? Thanks.
