When should I upload files via FTP in Binary or ASCII mode?

If your FTP program allows you to select between Binary, ASCII, and Auto modes, you can follow these general rules:

If the file you want to upload contains all text, like an HTML or a text file, use the ASCII mode.

If you want to upload a graphic file or other media files, use Binary mode.

If you are uncertain, you can simply select Auto to have the program select the modes automatically.
