ftp on mac os x server adds .bin extension
Just currious, Im running os x server, and I have an ftp server on it. Works great but the problem is when i dupm certain files in some of the users folders, like photoshop(psd) for example, it adds a .bin extension at the end. Some pc users that use my ftp server said that they can't open the files in photoshop cause of the extension.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hopefully someone with more experience on Mac OS X Server will chime in.
Oh Well.....
To turn it off add:
influence_listings no
to the end of /Library/FTPServer/Configuration/ftpaccess

Are you saying that my line in the library folder should show:
/Library/FTPserver/Configuration/ftpaccess/influence_listings no
I am not too familiar with the unix coding etc...
And I also am not too familiar with the terminal. Do I have to do this through the terminal or can I do it directly in the library folder?
Thanks again though you solved alot of problems, I will try it out hopping that I undersdtood you correctly.
Thanks

No, you have to add the line to the ftpaccess file.
Open Terminal and type:
cd /Library/Configuration
Press return
Type:
sudo pico ftpaccess
Press return and enter your admin password (it will ask you to do that)
The ftpaccess file is now opened in the pico text editor.
Scroll down to the bottom of the document using the arrow keys and type:
influence_listings no
on a blank line.
Press CTRL-O to save and CTRL-X to exit pico.
You should probably restart your FTP server after this.
