Akos, It's common enough for me to have seen it a few times. If you are expected to work with the site you will need the unecrypted files OR you will need to decrypt them. I suspect the developer is talking about encrypted source files.
CF encryption is pretty trivial and you can unencrypt them back into source but make sure you have the right to do so (from whoever hired you or owns the code or whatever). -mark Mark A.

I have some new site modification work coming in and the existing developers sent me this message. "The files that constitute the site are stored in a binary format ââ¬â not editable text. This protects the source code and is standard deployment practice amongst developers." I have talked to other developers and nobody has never come across such thing so not too sure about the claim its standard practice. Am I missing an important thing here? Anybody worked like that before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346450 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
