Mac uses different line endings than Windows so that can be a problem if you transfer in ASCII mode. &nbsp;I know you said he was doing binary but maybe he messed up somehow. &nbsp;Try sending him some other small binary file and see if it works for him.. maybe a mp3 or something.

I walked him through making sure Fetch was set to get in binary and he has received files with no problem in the past. We did a small test today. I just wonder if there is anything different in the way a MAC &quot;sees&quot; and app file in ftp.

I've got a standalone MAC app (actually a Flash show) that doesn't seem to transfer properly to a friend's MAC. I created the file - let's call it MACTTEST.app using a program that generates a standalone MAC file. When I burn the file to a CD and pop it into any MAC computer running OS X it runs properly.<br />
<br />
When I ftp the app to my ftp server and he retrieves it (using Fetch - as binary) it won't run on his MAC or any of the MACs in his office. Any idea why? Is there some issue sending MAC apps via FTP? Thanks.

Problem with FTP sending a MAC App

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.

Apple Software

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
