Remarks
The FileType property specifies the type of file transfer
between the local and server. The file transfer types supported
are:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
fileTypeAuto |
The file type should be automatically determined based on the
file name extension. If the file extension is unknown, the file
type should be determined based on the contents of the file. The
control has an internal list of common text file extensions, and
additional file extensions can be registered using the
AddFileType method. |
| 1 |
fileTypeText |
The file being transferred is an ASCII text file. The
characters the mark the end of a line (for example, a carriage
return/linefeed pair under MS-DOS) are automatically converted to
the format used by the target operating system. |
| 2 |
fileTypeEBCDIC |
The file being transferred is a text file created using the
EBCDIC character set. If a file is being uploaded, ASCII characters
are automatically converted to EBCDIC. If the file is being
downloaded, EBCDIC characters are automatically converted to ASCII. |
| 3 |
fileTypeBinary |
The file is transferred without any modification. This is the
default file transfer type, and should be used when transferring
binary (non-text) data. |
