Found this explanation at 'http://www.nsftools.com/tips/RawFTP.htm#SYST

' (http://www.nsftools.com/tips/RawFTP.htm#SYST)



-SYST

Syntax: SYST



Returns a word identifying the system, the word "Type:", and the
default transfer type (as would be set by the TYPE command). For
example: UNIX Type: L8



TYPE

Syntax: TYPE type-character [second-type-character]



Sets the type of file to be transferred. type-character can be any of:



* A - ASCII text

* E - EBCDIC text

* I - image (binary data)

* L - local format 



For A and E, the second-type-character specifies how the text should be
interpreted. It can be:



* N - Non-print (not destined for printing). This is the default if
second-type-character is omitted.

* T - Telnet format control (<CR>, <FF>, etc.)

* C - ASA Carriage Control 



For L, the second-type-character specifies the number of bits per byte
on the local system, and may not be omitted.-



Hope this helps...
