I didn't read that you modified something to /etc/vsftpd.conf so you
might check the part with:

#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES

that's the reason, thanks Max!
uncommented and it's ok
There is also a nice explaination WHY it works like that

I wonder if this is the standard behaviour by default of all the ftp
servers around ?

# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact
ignore
# the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually
do ASCII
# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
# Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious
remote parties
# to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/
file" in
# ASCII mode.
# These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you
may wish
# to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from
breaking),
# without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling
should be
# on the client anyway..
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
