Hi,
Pull operation from FTP Activity allow to select transfer mode Binary and ASCII. Can some one help me to understand different scenario to select these mode?
Hi @bhuvan
“ASCII” mode is appropriate when using FTP to send a single text file between two PCs. “binary” mode is appropriate when sending anything else: TAR files, compressed files, gz files, etc. If a binary file is sent between a PC and a UNIX system in “ASCII” mode, the contents of the binary file will be modified such that it will no longer be readable; the file will have to be re-sent from the originating system in binary mode. Typically, this is the source of the problem when a customer sends us TAR or compressed files that are not readable on our machines.

Based on the files that you are sending, please select the option accordingly.
