<h2><a name="type">How can I force an FTP ASCII download of File <EM>xxx</EM>?</a></h2>



In the rare situation where you must download a specific file using the FTP

<STRONG>ASCII</STRONG> transfer method (while the default transfer is in

<STRONG>binary</STRONG> mode), you can override mod_proxy's default by

suffixing the request with <SAMP>;type=a</SAMP> to force an ASCII transfer.<p>
