Hello, Matthew

Hope you are fine.

You want to transfer Linux GUI tftp client server in binary mode. Actually there are two types of transferring files. These are binary and ASCII. You have to learn how to transfer a file before  transferring a file though it is important that you are in the correct transfer type.

For this you can use “type” command. Just see below.

FTP> type
Using binary mode to transfer files.
FTP> ASCII
200 Type set to A.
FTP> type
Using ASCII mode to transfer files.
FTP> binary
200 Type set to I.
FTP> type
Using binary mode to transfer files.

As per the example above, type 'ASCII' to change to the ASCII type and 'binary' to change to the binary type.

Hope you will get your answer.
