Gets and sets the current file transfer type for FTP
transfers.
Syntax
object.FileType [= filetype ]
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 |
fileTypeASCII |
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. The constant fileTypeText is an
alias for this value. |
| 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 |
fileTypeImage |
The file is a binary file and no data conversion of any type
is performed on the file. This is the default file type for most
data files and executable programs. If the type of file cannot be
automatically determined, it will always be considered a binary
file. If this file type is specified when uploading or
downloading text files, the native end-of-line character
sequences will be preserved. The constant fileTypeBinary
is an alias for this value. |
