Set the FTP Transfer Type to Binary

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.SetTypeBinary method, which sets the FTP representation type to binary (TYPE I) for subsequent transfers. It takes no arguments.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
