Konqueror FTP TEXT MODE

Hi list,
I am not subscribed to the list. Please add my email as cc
in an answer. Thanks.
I found the following text about the ftp kio slave:
Up- or downloads can be forced to use ASCII mode when the
metadata key "textmode" is
defined at login time.
I've no idea what I should do to use ftp text mode. How
exactly can I switch to text mode?
Thanks 
Dirk

Write a ~/.kde/share/config/kio_ftprc, with
[hostname]
textmode=true

Or use [] instead of [hostname] to make it used everywhere.

But this will likely mess up any transfers of binary
files...
