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?

Thanks again,

Michael

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.
