I'm pretty sure sending B is intentional since we do not perform automatic
translaton between EBCDIC and ASCII.  Therefore, EBCDIC is treated as a
binary file not subject to the automatic translation required by the FTP
spec.  It's probably not useful to make a change unless the character
translation is implemented.  However, I'm speaking purely from memory and
not from revisiting the code and RFC.
