How to set the Default Transfer Mode to BINARY

I am running an embedded FTP Server and I would like to set the default transfer mode to BINARY.  That is, I don't want the client to have to ISSUE the TYPE command to transfer in BINARY mode.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

It can't be done, at least not without redefining the protocol and
modifying both client and server.

Both ends need to agree on transfer type, and the client will default to
ASCII.
