I am trying to upload a binary file (QuickTime movie) to an ftp

put URL "binfile:moviefile.mov" into URL "ftp://

With this script, I get a file on the server with the correct
number of bytes, but the file appears not to be binary and cannot
be opened by QuickTime.
The syntax looks correct. All ftp transfers in Rev are done as
binary. When you say the file appears not to be binary, can you be
more specific? How are you trying to open the movie in QT, as a
file or as a url?
I was able to use a similar script to upload a movie file by ftp
and then play it from the QT Player as a file. No problems.

Hi Dave,
I meant that when I try to open the file with QuickTime Player, I
get a message saying that it cannot be played by Quicktime Player.
So I assumed that it isn't binary. We are trying to upload it to a
Mac OSX server, and according to Terminal, all ftp transfers are
binary. We are stumped on this one. :-)
I'd check the permissions on the uploaded file. Does it give read
permissions to the user who is trying to open the file with the
QuickTime Player?
Here, after uploading, I switched off both read/write access to the
file, and the Player gave the message "QuickTime cannot open the file
"test.mov" an unknown error occurred (-5000)" Is that the message you
got?
Cheers
Dave
