Dell Unity: How to force FTP server to use binary mode (User Correctable)

Podsumowanie: When uploading text files to Unity's FTP server, file formatting may become invalid due to the difference between Windows and Unix/Linux end-of-line (EOL) characters. Windows uses two characters, CR+LF while Unix/Linux only uses LF. By default, Unity's FTP server uses ASCII transfer mode and since Unity uses a Unix/Linux base, all EOL characters are converted to LF. This makes files appear to be broken when read from a Windows client. To avoid this behavior, files should be uploaded using bin transfer mode. This makes sure the file is transferred "as is" with no changes. This may also be helpful when transferring image, audio and video files as they also require binary mode to avoid corruption. ...
