Tech Note: FTP transfer to AOOS

Just a quick tech note on the FTP site.

Most of the stuff we are passing around is ASCII. Some might be binary like unprocessed ADCP, matlab (.mat) files, etc. Before sending those type files, please be sure you are using the 'bin' or 'binary' transfer. The site claims transfers are in binary, but it isn't.
