RFC 959, says that FTP supports two modes to transfer files -- ASCII and Binary. Now, if I have a UTF-8 (or any other encoding) encoded text file, containing, say Japanese characters, would it be correct to choose the transfer mode as ASCII? And if I choose the transfer mode as ASCII, is there a possibility that the content of the file on the receiving end is garbled?
In a nutshell, does ASCII mode means that only ASCII encoded text files are supported?
Thanks,
Sandeep.
