FTP trasnferred as binary even with FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII specified

Hi,

In my C# code I call WININET's FtpPutFile function to FTP upload text
files. It has a flags parameters to specify whether the transfer
should be done in binary or ASCII. I've specified
FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII which is mapped to constant 1, however the
file is still transferred as binary. Could anyone suggest what went
wrong? Thanks!

YT,

You aren't showing the code where you are calling Put and setting the
flags. Are you sure that you are passing it in?

Also, are you using .NET 2.0? If so, have you considered using the
FtpWebRequest class in the System.Net namespace?
