? I'm having a problem transfering a file using ft-find-file and I think
? it's because the file in question is a binary file.  Specifically, it
? is a file that's been 'compressed'.  I think that if I were using
? 'real' ftp, that I could just turn on binary mode and everything would
? be ok.
? 
? Is there some way to get ftp-find-file to use binary mode?

Good point. As a matter of fact, I would argue for *always* using binary mode.
