Thanks for the quick re: I tried forcing my ftp app into binary transfer, and that didn't help. I'm assuming that would be the solution to your item #2. However, that's just the kind of bonehead mistake I expect it to be!!
Now for option #1. Is that something I can ask my hosting company to set-up for me, or should I just give up and copy/paste/exchange all of the shared cast members?

IIRC this can be due to one of two possible things. 1. Your server doesn't recognize the .cct extension and doesn't know it's meant to be binary data. 2. Your FTP program did more or less the same. That is, it looked at the .cct data and BinHexed it when it uploaded it, rather than leaving it alone. Try setting up your FTP app such that it won't BinHex, then try again.
