The syntax looks correct. All ftp transfers in Rev are done as  
binary. When you say the file appears not to be binary, can you be  
more specific? How are you trying to open the movie in QT, as a file  
or as a url?

I was able to use a similar script to upload a movie file by ftp and  
then play it from the QT Player as a file. No problems.
