Side note: translation tables really only meaningfully apply to TEXT mode
transfers. If you transfer in binary mode, your client/server SHOULD NOT
be doing ANY translation -- by using binary mode, you implicitly told it
not to translate.

If you've got a file already transferred in binary mode, you'll have to
use some external utility to translate it.
