I have mandrake 8.1, and when uploading pictures to my ftp server (over my lan) the images get really distorted... (like it didn't transfer right at all)

example

perhaps you're transferring in ASCII mode? >>



ALWAYS make sure you issue a BIN command in FTP after you login and before you do a GETorPUT.
 


<< not always

Text files, config files, html files, should all be ascii.

No... it doesnt matter, you can use binary for everything... might be just a tad slower, but it will still be fine.

When in doubt, use binary. Binary mode means you get EXACTLY what was sent. ASCII mode sometime changes <LF> into <CR><LF> and vice versa depending on the originating system and the receiving system. Sometimes this is desirable, sometimes its not...
