[Tutor] file transfered through ftplib not the right size

[Michel Bélanger]

As you suggested, I open the file in binary and it did it i.e.

before: f = open(outfile, "w")
after: f = open(outfile, "wb")

Thank you very much.  I am new in Python and find this usergroup very 
efficient.  I posted several requests this past week, and always 
received very useful information.
