Text mode is used to transfer files which are plain text with no special formatting.
If such a binary file is transferred while Fetch is in Text mode, the copy you make of the file may not work correctly. Automatic mode usually correctly identifies and transfers binary files. If the Automatic setting does not transfer the file correctly, the Text and Binary buttons can be used to specify the transfer method according to the file type. For more information about file types, consult the Help menu in Fetch. Transferring files Once connected, there are two ways to transfer files using Fetch.
