When uploading cpg which modes do I upload in?
Shall I assume ascii for php, css and js files and binary for image files?!
all images (jpg, gif, png) should be uploaded as binary, all files that contain text (php, htm, css, js etc.) in ascii mode. Most ftp clients have an "auto" mode that will use the proper mode for each file; if your ftp client has "auto", use it. Sometimes (on some servers, I should say) you will encounter double line breaks in files that were uploaded in ascii: in this case, try "binary" for all file types.
