The only time you need to switch to binary is if you're using an ftp client such as ftp under linux, or ftp.exe under windows. In that case, all you need to do is to type "binary" before starting the file transfer. If you're using a web browser, you don't need to do anything, since in most cases, the browser knows a binary file when it sees one.
