RE: FTP GET Failing on Large Save Files

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That shouldn't be the problem.  Every time I've forgotten to switch to
binary mode it has told me I can't tranfer because I'm not it binary mode.
Get or Put it seems to do this.  It tells me something like:

"You must use Binary mode for Save Files" or something..
