Note that by default FTP will work in ASCII mode, so to enable binary mode you need to type ‘bin’ at the command line in your FTP client. For example, I use the following bash script to upload files to my Windows FTP server:

ftp -inv 2> $ERROR_LOG <<EOF
open $FTP_UPLOAD_SITE
user $FTP_UPLOAD_USER $FTP_UPLOAD_PASSWORD
bin
cd $FTP_UPLOAD_PATH
put $1
close
bye
EOF
