Description

Hello.
We are uploading XML file (around 2 MB) via FTP using putFile method, and sometimes XML file is malformed after upload.
That kind of issue can happen when using ASCII transfer mode for non-ASCII files.
Is it possible to set transfer mode when calling putFile?
Thank you!

Research direction

The issue identifies the putFile method and the requested binary or ASCII transfer mode, but no implementation file or test is named. Locate putFile and its existing tests, then determine how transfer mode is currently handled. Done should include a way to select the mode when calling putFile and coverage showing the selected mode is used.
