 All this is rather site dependent. "Binary" or "Image" works most of the
time but "tenex" is helpful if the sending machine is a 36-bit machine
(usually DEC-20's...like SIMTEL). "Tenex" refers to one of the operating
systems those machines use.

 Details may be slightly different at different sites (BSD and Wollogong
"ftp" is slightly different from CMU ftp for VMS, "ftp" for VM/CMS is REAL
different, etc.).

If you have problems contact the nearest System Administrator, Guru or whatever
for your system.
