Choosing ASCII, binary, or auto transfer types 

Description  

Use the TransferType property to retrieve or set the value for the way the Transfer Engine 

should transfer files (ASCII, binary or auto)

. 

Syntax 

String Object.TransferType

Parameters

"ASCII"

All files should be transferred in ASCII mode 

"BINARY"   All files should be transferred in BINARY mode 

The TE will reference an internal list editable from CuteFTP s Global 

Options to determine the proper transfer type for that particular file. For 

"AUTO" 

example, if the ASCII list contains a filter mask of "txt" then all files with 

(default)  

extension ".txt" will be transferred in ASCII. If a file doesn t correspond to 

any mask in this list then it will be transferred in binary mode.  

Example  

Object.TransferType = "AUTO"

`the Transfer Engine will use the shell's 

default settings to establish whether the transfer should occur in binary or 

ASCII. `write file transfer code next...
