What do you mean by view? Can you list the contents of the directory and the .asp files are just not there? #1 it sounds like you have MIME issues on the OSX side, which are seeing the .asp as Adobe files. Also, when you say you toggled to active ftp, I assume previously you were connecting “passively”?

I would guess that there are firewall issues in play. FTP is tricky to firewall properly, particularly if you have some kind of NAT going on in the client side. If you were able to list the file but not able to download it, that would almost certainly point towards a firewall issue.

Best solution would be to use something like SFTP, but I am a Unix geek, so I don’t know how available that is with IIS Virtual directories.

Cheers,

Matt

You gotta tell us how you’re finding that in your log files ;-) There's an Apache module for that.

I dunno, I’d almost say a date, but although most of my readers are male, I think most are, um, otherwise committed.

Yes, it doesn’t seem right at all. I’m no IIS geek, so let me take a stab at it. :-) My understanding is that for an FTP client to see a virtual folder there needs to be an actual folder in the directory. This folder would typically be empty since the actual files live in the virtual folder. My theory is that somehow Cyberduck is/was showing you the contents of the empty physical folder.

What do you get, let’s see…hmmm…a happy blogger?

BTW, the files were later detected, but that was only after cyberduck was toggled to “active” FTP and the files are being recognized on the Mac as Adobe Go Live files.

In my book, that still isn’t right.

you get to win a bet? but what’s in it for us?

feh, I don’t know anyway…permissions? Um, maybe you need an IIS geek.
