There shouldn't be any at all. It seems like you're suffering from two levels of less-than-perfect behavior at once: 1) The file has no extension. The server doesn't know what it is, and defaults to saying that it is plaintext. 2) The server says the file is plaintext, and the browser is desperate to put an extension on it, and so it just imagines a .txt extension and tack it on to the name. I suppose the file is a Mac OS executable. In that case, you'll have to save it, remove the extension, and use something like ResEdit to set the type to APPL/something or something/APPL; I've not handled ResEdit in years. A better way of handling it would be to package the files in something the server, the browser and Mac OS understands. MacBinary, StuffIt, BinHex or somesuch would be ideal, I think. That's not something you can do, but rather whomever put the files there in the first place. Oof, I have to sleep a bit more. Waking up way, way too early isn't always a good thing. :) /Sam ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
