In ASCII mode a file
may be changed slightly to maintain the meaning of EOL (End Of Line)
characters. UNIX machines use a single line break character at the end
of each line, whereas Windows systems use a line break and a carriage return.
It is used when uploading text documents such as HTML, PHP, Perl CGI scripts and plain text files.
Perl CGI scripts are particularly fussy about
being uploaded in ASCII mode (the extra carriage return inserted by
Windows systems messes them up otherwise). |
