How should i ftp transfer in Binary?

hey i found this two codes which read files in binary.... but what i wish to do is to transfer the file in binary using Net::FTP

i check some of the forum here stating the following:

Quote:

open IN, "in";
open OUT, ">out";
binmode IN;
binmode OUT;
while(<IN> )
{
s/\r\n/\n/g;
print OUT $_;
}
close OUT;
close IN;

and another from man page is using this below:

Quote:

$ftp->binary([args])

but i wish to get the file in binary so how should i do? so far i did this:

Quote:

$ftp->get("$file", "$final")||die "$!";

the variable contain a file name.

need help 2 convert the file when get.

Try using this:

Code:

$ftp->binary(); # Set transfer type to Binary
$ftp->get("filename"); # Now transfer the file over.
