If Schoun is listening, he can give you more information than you want on this, I'm sure. But, here's my idea. Apple's ftp server can do auto-conversion of files. Files with a resource fork are served up as MacBinary and are given the extension .bin. You can turn this behavior off somewhere in the ftp server preferences. The solution I've used is to just kill off the resource fork. It's easily done with the command line, and that's how I usually do it, but there are programs such as GrimRipper [1] that also do it.
