To transfer the file verbatum then use binary, however what application are you using on unix that can understand XLS files?
As a hint, go to a command prompt on Windows and do "type name.xls" to print the file out, that is what unix will see.
I personally use a OLE program that drives Excel to save the document as a tab delimited file, then transfer those to UNIX.

Can anyone tell the option to change the file type in unix.
i.e. if a file is in csv(Comma Separating Values) format, it should be changed to xls(ordinary MS-Excel) format. But renaming command is not changing to correct file format.
