This property is automatically set every time you perform a Zmodem transfer from the dialog box. The value also becomes the default for the next transfer from the dialog box. This property has no effect on programmatic transfers—if you don't explicitly specify a transfer type, the default is always binary.
Sets the default transfer type for FTP transfers from the File Transfer dialog box to ASCII. If the FTPTranslateCharacters property is set to true, the following translations are performed: Character set translations (as specified on the Emulation tab in the Terminal Setup dialog box); and relevant ASCII File Translation options (as specified on the Translation tab in the File Transfer Setup dialog box). If FTPTranslateCharacters is set to false, record separator characters may still be translated to carriage return/linefeed sequences (if the ConvertSeparatorToEOL property is set to true), and a Ctrl-Z character may be still be appended to the end of the file (if the WriteCtrlZAsEOF property is set to true), but no other translations are performed.
Sets the default transfer type for FTP transfers from the File Transfer dialog box to binary and does not translate data in the file as it is transferred. (The default.)
The transfer type is determined by the file extension. Use these properties to determine which file extensions are linked to which transfer type: TransferAutoDetectDefaultType; TransferAutoDetectASCIIExtensionList; and TransferAutoDetectBinaryExtensionList.
