- Hello again,
- I'm trying to learn to download mac files from ftp archives.
- Text files are no problem, so far. I transferred a stuffit (.sit)
- file to my host machine and kermitted it to my mac. I couldn't
- unstuffit (after changing the TYPE and CREATOR to SIT!) using
- stuffit 1.5 - I get a message indicating that the header is
- corrupted. How do I go about getting a stuffit file home and
- unstuffitted?
- Could someone recommend a short .sit file and an archive from
- which to retreive it - so I can practice what you preach. One that
- you've had some success with.
- BTW, what do the other suffixes stand for? -- .hqz, .z,
- .shar and others. Are these compressed/archived files? How do I
- undo them? Where do I get the "undoers"?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Warren
