Avoid a 'download' problem with iDisk and media files
Authored by: glusk on Mar 10, '05 10:32:17PM
One problem I regularly have with .mac file sharing via the web page is having .mac sit/hqx encode the file for me.

For example, sometimes I'll load up a TIFF file from my Mac and iDisk and then from a Windows machine browse over to my .mac website. Going to the file sharing web page and clicking on download sometimes gets me an hqx file. Is .mac trying to be helpful??

I've never understood this and have occasionally had to copy the file to my sites folder (instead of Public) and manually type the URL from the Windows machine. Could this be the source of trouble? Anyone else seen this?
