use binary for zipped files, images, everything that's not text, ascii for text only, most (non window$) clients will auto select, in windows you need to specify bin for binary for files or else you end up gibberish.

use ASCII unless you have to have an exact copy then use binary... I dont know why but I know normal transfers are in ASCII not binary. Use the automatic setting if you can or just ASCII
ok, well you just got a better answer... sorry, it was what I thought i knew
