Are you transferring from Windows to Linux? If the file is a text
file then don't use binary. This will convert files that have been
created under Windows (such as Notepad) to have their line endings
converted to Unix line endings. Windows uses a line ending of ^M^J
(carriage return and line feed). Unix uses ^J (line feed).

The binary transfer mode is meant for things where you want no
conversions to take place such as ISO image or an executable
file.
