How to check a file whether it is in binay mode or not while doing ftp??

Hi,

One bank statement file should be loaded into some tables by using a concurrent program. But if the file is transfered in binary mode i am getting some special characters in the file which is unexpected. so, for that while moving that file data into tables i want to write a script that checks whether the file is in binay mode or in Ascii mode?? If it is transfered in binary mode, then i want to display one error message that the file should not be transferred in binary mode.

I think my explanation is clear.

can any one let me know what is the command to check whether the file is in binary mode??

Thanks in advance.
Sateesh.
