^O is a single character. So your assumptions about character position shifting are incorrect. This is the character Ctrl-O, also understood as Char(15). It only displays as apparently two characters.

It may be useful to do a binary ftp transfer. This will guarantee any value conversion.

Not quite sure what you meant to say, but a 'binary' transfer means no conversion is done during the transfer. And all an ASCII transfer does is convert record delimiters, neither touches or converts anything internal to the record.
