RE: FLASH: Mission: Rescue the .FLA's

[JGL]

I believe that once transferred as ASCII, there is no going back to BINARY.

I hope I am wrong for your sake :(


My habit, with ftp anyway, is to transfer everything as binary . . .

Hello all:


anyone have some tips on rescuing .FLA's?  We had some server re-installs -

when the .FLA's were transferred back - they give us a "Access Denied to

xxxx.fla".  I believe they may have been transferred as "txt" files rather

than a binary graphic file.  Just guessing.  The file sizes seem to relate

to the old, working file size - but the info just seems to be garbled into

another, foreign format.  How do you get a .FLA to know it is a .FLA???


Thanks to anyone with any help!
