Has anybody here noticed a difference between transferring a text file in FTP ASCII mode vs an SCP transfer?  What about ASCII vs Binary mode?  Have you ever run across an instance where the transfer in any other mode but FTP ASCII caused a problem?

I had to upload a new implimentation of our credit card application interface.  In there was 3 perl scripts that were transfered to the cgi-bin directory.  I am being told that our problems are due to the fact that I didn't use an ASCII mode FTP transfer.
