FTP Binary Files with Stream ?

[Steve Ginn]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to FTP a binary file using
stream mode rather than binary mode ?  I have actually transferred
the files via FTP using this method but after I download them
using Kermit, from my shell account to my remote PC, the files
seem to have gotten corrupted.  If this is what should happen
(meaning the files shouldn't be transferred using stream), are
there any utilities (such as brik for uuencoded files missing
a CRC, etc.) which could be used to reformat the file into the
proper format due to it being changed by the stream transfer?

Thanks,
Steve Ginn
