Setting these options will enable you to transfer "cgi scripts" and "image map" files in Auto Mode. This will make uploading that much easier, and it will help you avoid very common mistakes!

These instructions are for WS_FTP but if you are using another FTP client and it has an "auto" function you should still be able to use the list of extensions below.

Step 3. Add the highlighted extensions by typing in the extension and pressing "Add". Be sure to put the dot before the extensions. Below is a list of many ascii extensions you will run into.
