In the days before the transfer command was ftp, kermit was born.
You could, and can, set capabilities separately on each end.
It made sense then to set the required capabilities at the end you
were changing ..
However, I think the new kermits inform each other of such changes
now, and they do the Right Thing.
I hate text mode. It gets in the way. That's one of the reasons I like
ncftp - you know its binary by default.
Or, you could just try it ..
kermit informs you of the transfer mode.
Cheers, Andy!
