Featured FTP Tip: 'What to use, ASCII or Binary?'

When transferring files to and from an FTP site, the general rule is to use
ASCII for 'text' files (which includes .html files) and Binary for
everything else.  That means, you'd use Binary to transfer JPG and GIF
images, any programs, Zipped files, etc.

In both WS_FTP Pro and WS_FTP LE, it's always a good idea to check 'Auto'
under 'file transfer mode'. Using 'auto' should match the correct transfer
mode for each file type.

Do you have a good FTP tip?  Submit your tips and we'll feature them in the
FTPplanet.com Newsletter!  Post tips to the Discussion Forum, FTP Tips.

Featured FTP Site: Simtel FTP site
http://www.FTPplanet.com/nl.plx?032901:ftpsite

You'll be surprised at the depth and variety of programs available on the
Simtel.net site.

When you first enter Simtel.net's FTP site, go to the '/pub', '/simtelnet',
'/Win95' directory. There you'll find a lengthy list of graphic programs,
icon generators, compression utilities, fonts, desktop utilities, HTML
tools, and CAD programs.

Each directory has its own 'index.txt' file that spells-out what you'll find
in each directory -- the sign of a great FTP site. Look around this site and
let us know what you find.

Post your own review of the Simtel FTP site and you could win a
FREE copy of WS_FTP Pro!
