[FX.php List] [OFF] All/Most files appearing with ".bin" extension?

[Alex Gates]

Hi Jonathan-

I believe the .bin extension is added because OS X server has automatic
MacBinary-encoding.  

I know this can be turned off by adding 

influence_listings no

to the end of /Library/FTPServer/Configuration/ftpaccess

But I am not sure if that is recommended or not.  I don't have much
experience with encoding and I don't really know how likely files are to
become corrupt when transferring.  

I'm not sure how BBEdit works remotely (I'm still using TextWrangler) - 
or if the encoding settings are set inside BBEdit or if it uses the FTP
server from OS X.

Hmmm....

On one of my client servers (OS X Server 10.4.8)  while working 
remotely using BBEdit (8.6), files started appearing in the BBEdit 
browser with ".bin" appended to all /most existing file names:
	bah.php 	-->	blah.php.bin
	blah.html	-->	blah.html.bin

I'm even seeing duplcates of the same file:
	blah.php.bin
	blah.php.bin

However, when looking at the actual folder in on the server, these 
two same files appear as:
	blah.php
	blah.php.bin.

This is happening with the entire folder on files.

Isn't happening with other servers.

What's going on?

Thanks

Jonathan
