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.

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.
