  • EFT Server (All Versions)

QUESTION

The majority of our file transfers are binary files. Is it possible to disable the ASCII method of transfer on the FTP server side?

ANSWER

The FTP client chooses whether to use binary or ASCII mode for the transfer. EFT Sever supports both modes, but EFT Server cannot force the FTP client to use binary or turn off the support for ASCII mode. You must configure that in the FTP client.
