"Binary mode?"

What the hell is Binary mode? A file I am trying to upload to my site keeps telling me to use that to put it online, but I don't know what it is? HELP!

There are two ways to ftp transfer a file, in ascii mode and binary mode (I would go into the gory details, but I don't know them :OD). Ascii mode cannot be used to upload binaries (i.e. executable files), and binary mode cannot be used to upload script files, such as .cgi

Somewhere in the ftp client you are using there will be a setting to change this.

What client is it?

I think it's telling you to change the file into another computer language or something. I ain't no computer wiz kid so I'd post this in the SR Site bugs forum to see if anyone there can help.

It's all technical stuff, about computer memory and all that malarkey

Now that I've helped you, go over to Prime and read my topic you birds of burden!

Fly my pretties .. Fly!

*Laughs insanely*

But how do I use that to upload my file?

See... I was right
