I'm sure this has been asked before, sorry for the repeat.

When I am FTP'ng, how do I determine what type the file I am
'get'ng is?  For example, I tried to get a file with the extension
	TAR.Z

as a binary file, but received garbage.  Can somebody please tell
me how to do this correctly?  Is there a file somewhere on how to
use FTP?  Thanks.

Please e-mail or post replies.

Steve
