Subject: how DO you FTP files from mc?

As one can see from the header, I'm on the brl machine (a PDP-11/70
something running Unix version something)  I've never been able to
transfer a .com file from mc through ftp to brl and then MODEM down-
load to my micro.  I've been quite sucessfull tranfering .hex and .txt
files.  From the ongoing discussion, I think I know why this is but
I'd really like to know how to get around it.

I have ftp'ed a .com and a .hex file of the same program, loaded
the .hex file, and uploaded the (loaded) .com file to compare with
the original ftp'ed .com file.  NO RELATION!  I was hoping that I could
find those four characters that ITS uses as a file identifier (from 
446353300000 octal = 223,072,330,0 as first four bytes)  No luck.

So how do you do it?
