Need Help from Mac Users!

Hey all,

I'm trying to get an aiff file to my publisher tonight. He needs it right away.

I tried sending it to him from my CC ftp space, and also from Cal's server ftp. He can't download it from either. He said my file comes up as a aifc file. Don't know why.

Anyway, here's the file I'm trying to get to him:   http://www.artistcollaboration.com/~johnny-boy/Those%20Days-Longer.aif

Any help will be appreciated.

Best, John

Thanks Nick and Bobby. I'll send him the zip link now. I'll let you know if  it worked as soon as I hear from him.

Best, John

If that doesn't work, have him try these...

Another trick would be to change the extension  ".aiff" to something else until he downloaded it. Then he can rename the file on his end.
Good luck,

You will have to post that on your site Johnny.

Non-members can't download from here. And I can't FTP out from work.

Sorry Bobby...I already had it zipped when I saw your post.  

Thanks for linking them Bobby!

And, note, John. That you will be safer when transferring files. or posting them on a server, not to use special characters aside from the underscore. And, leave space out. Some servers, and OS's are real picky about how they read file names.. Had a case the other day where someone used an apostrophe in a file name. And, my server and forum software handled it as code... Needless to say the file was not accessible..
