Problem recieving files from net2ftp

I have a very strange problem occurring with a Net2FTP site.
I've setted up a VSFTPD with SSL/TLS enabled and it works just fine for almos all archives, however, if someone put a .msg file (Outlook messages), if I download via Net2FTP, the file arrives different (different MD5) and it doesn't open.
However, if I try the same file, via Filezilla or any other ftp client that supports VSFTPD, it works just fine.

Does anyone know how to even start debugging this?

Thank you very much.

Be sure to transfer the file in binary mode.

Well, I'll be damned, I tought it was setted up by default.

Thank you very much, it worked as a charm.

Just a post-info, would it be a good policy to always let it by default?

These days? Probably. I might make an exception for weird IBM machines that still use EBCDIC though.
