I don't know what FTP server is used with RH9, but RH8 uses vsftp, and by default it ignores the "ascii" command and will transfer everything as binary. To fix set: 
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES

[download]
in the vsftpd.conf file. It's a pretty patronising server. It tells you "ascii tastes bad, dude" in its oh-so-hip surfy language whenever you try setting the transfer mode to ascii
