why ftp packed ascii to ifs doesnt work

I'm trying to understand why a ftp put (with bin) from Win Server
to iSeries ifs alters the file data if packed data exists in the file.
I thought "bin" would move the file as is. There should be no ascii to ebcdic
in going to the ifs. Dealing with about a hundred different files and many 
packed fields. 
I see (thru google) this same problem exists in the unix and mainframe world.
(Was probably sleeping thru this part of Computing 101..)
