Remember though if you change any of the config that you need to restart the service for it to take effect. Be professional and take a copy of the whole damned thing before you mess with it.
No changes on the windows side. But on Linux file I see that it forces binary as it fears denial of service attack. Not sure why Solaris didnt fear it, so may be it had some other protection.
So now what solution can we have for it?
Also the fact that Redhat is forcing binary is still not answering the other question as to why even files such as encrypted files which are sent from win to redhat in binary mode (explicitly chosen) still has dos chars. When we run dos2unix on them the size decreased and decryption happened successfully. Initially I had thought that those files were sent on Redhad in ascii mode by mistake. But now it is clear that they indeed went in binary (due to forcing). Then how they had dos chars issue?

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp
DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and
are ignored.
Behavior Directives
The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
LIST instead. In order to make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.
If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is
specified in /etc/default/ftp.
