You can download at: http://masterblaster.bsd.st/FTPClient.dmg.sit.hqx
Perhaps you have a good reason... But why did you do that?
Specifically, the
".sit.hqx" part? Why do either?
Encoding, Internet Explorer download, improperly configured server,
client, etc...
I'm doing it too. Except, I'm removing the .dmg.sit part in the name.
If you need further explanation:
- There is not any perfect solution to create a Disk Image on Mac OS X
(This reminds me I need to see n the future if the next version of Disk
Copy is as powerful as the OS 9 one).
This leads to some developers not creating compressed Disk Image since
they have to manually modify them (add a background image, a custom
icon, etc...).
Since DiskCopy creates 5,10,whatever MB Disk Image, you need to compress
them.
=> .sit
Since .sit is not a format necessarily recognized by every
OS/client/whatever (Proprietary format), encoding in .hqx helps
preventing download nightmare story.
=> .hqx
