@agatha @foone binary you can transfer over connections that can only do text unless properly configured

like ftp used to love to just make everything a text file unless you set it to binary mode.

@agatha @foone and on windows particularly, if you open a file not explicitly as a binary file, any 0x0A (line feed in ASCII) would become 0x0D 0x0A because windows converts normal line feeds
