In what sense. If you talking about uncorrupted file transfer 
just set the file type to binary before the transfer. This 
should replicate any file type exactly at the other end in most
circumstances. (There can be some problems with some less common 
systems such as VMS that use structured files.)  
Text mode (which is often the default) only has merit when 
transfering simple text files between different types of systems
and you would like the file altered to match the text conventions
on the target machine.
