RE: [cobalt-users] ftp a .tar.gz as ascii or ftp?

["Colin J. Raven" <cjraven@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All!
My thanks to each and every person who willingly jumped in and helped on
this small but quite important issue. Specifically my thanks (not in
chronololgical order) to:
gsh, Dan, John, Gerald - Thank you!
Francois - Merci!
Nico & Johan - Dank je wel!
(I hope neither of you object to the personal "je" instead of the more
formal "u")

On any other occasion I would have known what to do. For example .exe, .db
and .gif on the one hand...no argument, it's clear what to do....Binary. On
the other side of the fence there's obvious ascii like .txt .htm/html etc
etc.
Then you have this here .tar.gz containing data beyond price and I
said...hmmm....better check before I suck this file down and find I
foobar'ed it in some way.

Groetjes,
-Colin
