The problem with FTP transfers is that you want binary transfer, since there
are just text files.   In the ftp program, you can specify that you want 
to do a binary transfer.  You do this by typing 'binary', once you are in
the ftp program and connected.  

Another problem area is transferring files from your friendly UNIX machine to
your trusty Atari, via modem.  If you use kermit to transfer your files,
you also need to specify binary transfers, otherwise kermit does some weird
carraige return/line feed translation between the UNIX and the Atari.
