I want to ftp some files for the mac, from garbo.uwasa.fi for instance. I ftp'ed the file into my unix platform, and since I don't have any direct connection to the mac i had to move it to my PC and from my PC to the mac. The problem is that i can't make the file running. The files are usually in StaffIt form (.sit), but when I transfer them to the mac they become plain documents. I tried (and succedded) changing their attributes (?) into SIT! (using ResEdit) and they became stuffit files allright, but when I tried openingthem via unstuffit all it could do is say something like 'bad header - save what you can and run' which was not too helpfull. Does anybody have some piece of information I'm missing? any help would be appreciated. Ophir.
