Hi Amiga Samba users, I have an interesting problem using Samba (1.9.16) on the Amiga. Everthing works fine for PC reads from the Amiga to the PC or dag-and-dropped onto Unix shares (which also using Samba). However, in the other direction (i.e. at PC GUI drag a Unix file from Unix share and drop it onto an Amiga share) this copy results in a file that my httpd on the Amiga can't read (in the case of GIF files; html are OK). It gives me "illegal file type" errors. If I use diff the file is identical to the original, and multiview can still read it and view it. Is Samba creating a file on the Amiga with some subtle differences in the low-level format of the file that confuses httpd? Can anyone help please? Cheers, Chris. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dr. Chris Ryan | | CSIRO Exploration and Mining email: c.ryan@syd.dem.csiro.au | | 51 Delhi Road (PO box 136) phone: +61-2-9490 8673 | | North Ryde NSW 2113 fax: +61-2-9490 8909 | | Australia.

Are Apache's MIME types set up to recognise .gif _and_ .GIF extensions as image/gif files?

If so maybe that is not being set correctly. -- Steve Fosdick Internet: fosdicsj@aom.bt.co.uk Voice: +44 1473 642987 MSMAIL: BTEA/BTLIP23/FOSDICSJ Fax: +44 1473 646656 BOAT: FOSDICSJ Snail: B29/G34, BT Labs, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, IP5 7RE, England.
