How do I upload files in binary mode to a windows server?

JohnnyC has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've used the example upload script that comes with Active Perl 5, but the problem is it uses ascii mode to upload on a windows server. That makes it impossible to upload graphics. I know the script works in binary mode on a unix server, and graphic uploading works fine. The problem is for this project I'm stuck with windows. Any Ideas???

You need to use `binmode`. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you don't talk about Perl club."	[reply]

One of the biggest file transfer differences between most nix services and most Windows services is that nix defaults to binary mode and most Windows services default to ASCII mode. Almost any file transfer service will have a toggle to change this. "Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!	[reply]
