Examples: .zip, .rar, .exe, .png, .jpg

Auto

FlashFXP will automatically determine whether a file should be transferred in ASCII or binary mode using a customizable list of file extensions. The list of ASCII file extensions can be modified to include proprietary file extensions. Files will transfer in binary mode unless their extensions are defined in the list.
