ASCII Mode

ASCII mode is one of transfer modes, and it converts return codes during transfer. For instance Unix servers use one byte of LF only as a return code. The client uses two bytes of CR + LF as a return code. Therefore, when uploading a text file, CR + LF becomes LF only, and when downloading a text file, LF becomes CR + LF.
