What transfer protocol do you use when xferring .iso ?

I'll pulling down the .iso files for Linux from the Redhat FTP and I was wondering if I should be using binary or ASCII? Anyone know? Thanks!

Binary. Usually ftp clients default to that though.

Use binary for everything but text files. The difference between ASCII and binary is the way carriage returns and line feeds are handled. On dos/windows systems, the newline character is made up of a CR and a LF. On Unix systems, it's only a LF. On MacOS, it's only a CR. That's why if you transfer a text file from a Unix or MacOS system using binary it's all scrunched up into one long line.

Yup it defaulted to binary. I was just in the "tweaking" mood once I saw I could adjust the settings...
