Hi HP3000-L,

The preferred method of ftp-ing bytestream files with the Microsoft command
line ftp client is:

C:\WINDOWS>ftp
ftp> open your3000
Connected to your3000.
220 HP ARPA FTP Server [A0009C04] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1990
User (your3000:(none)): USER.ACCOUNT
331 Password required for USER.ACCOUNT.  Syntax: [,]acctpass
Password:
230 User logged on
ftp> quote type L 8
200 Type set to L (byte size 8).
ftp> put \autoexec.bat ./autoexec.bat
200 PORT command ok.
150 File: ./autoexec.bat opened; data connection will be opened
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 667 bytes sent in 0.00Seconds 667000.00Kbytes/sec.
ftp> exit
Invalid command.
ftp> quit
221 Server is closing command connection

Please note the use of "quote type L 8" (aka "tenex" or "bytestream" to some
ftp clients) instead of "binary".  This ensures that the file will be uploaded
in bytestream mode, and you won't have to do a subsequent tobyte on it.
