Description Colin Harford 2004-04-01 20:30:19 UTC 
      If you call ftp with binary mode, ie:

ftp --binary server
or ftp -inv --binary

it does not set binary mode for doing the transfer.

You must set binary after the connection is established for it to work.

Fix: 

Have ftp remember options that are set when starting the ftp client.
How-To-Repeat:       ftp a tar file to a Windows FTP server, when setting binary when you call ftp.  ie: ftp --binary my.windows.server.  Then try to open the tar file.
