Specify "Ascii" mode transfer rather than "binary".
Just enter "ASCII" or "BIN" on command line to switch modes. Default varies with different FTP packages.
Microsft uses "Newline" rather than "CR/LF" used by AS400 and most Unix Systems. Most ftp packages will automatically convert these if run in "ASCII" transfer mode.
