WebPublish uses a very simple method for selecting the file transfer mode to use when transferring a file. WebPublish will use binary mode by default. If a shell program is called for the file just before the file is transferred then the file will be transferred in text mode.
If you would like to override the default file transfer mode then
you will need to add a record to the mode
database file. If a
file's extension is listed in the mode
database file then the
file will be transferred using the extension's associated file transfer
mode.
You do not need to specify the name of an account when you add a
record to the mode
database file. When you override the default
file transfer mode, the new mode will be used by all accounts.
This means that if the css
file extension is listed in the mode
database file then all css
files that are transferred by
WebPublish will be transferred using the css
file transfer mode.
