hey hey all:

was wondering if there was some page or list that indicates the file type extension and the manner in which it should be uploaded? i use dw4, and i've seen the ftp extension file, but that file, for example, doesn't list *.cgi or *.pl, so i'm not sure how i should upload those.

thanks in advance...

Basically, if you can open the file in a text editor and it doesn't look like your keyboard upchucked into a file :), it should be uploaded as ASCII.

This would include .pl files and most, though not necessarily all, .cgi files. Use the text editor test if you're unsure, it will help a great majority of the time.
