It is
important to remember to send HTML (text) in ACCII mode and all
image-format files in Binary. Many Windows FTP client programs can
automatically set the appropriate file type during transmission.
In addition, if you are using Word or some other text-editor locally
for writing HTML, be sure to save the file as plain-text only ,
not a .doc file, for example. All of this is basic, but results
in a majority of the FTP errors!
