Thanks Andre.
I ended up transferring each individual piece of the OSX app from the
server, after creating all the folders that comprise the app in
advance. Didn't have to compress anything prior to transfer. Takes a
bit of programming to create each folder and transfer each piece, but
it works fine. I noticed this is how my ftp program deals with it as
well.

Richard,
never transfer MacOS files thru ftp without putting them on a safe
container. Best way to transfer your application is by using a zip
file. Zip
the application bundle and use RevZip functions to extract it
later. This is
actually how Revolution own updater works I think.

I'm sure this has been talked about before, but I can't seem to put
my finger on the answer.
I need to download via ftp (via RunRev code) a Mac Rev app off our
remote server (a Mac Mini server) as part of an automatic file
updating process when our Rev application starts up. What's the best
way to do that, given the package structure of OSX apps? Clearly, an
OSX Rev app cannot be treated the same as a Windows Rev exe. I
thought it would be adequate to simply treat the .app as a folder and
go into the Contents folder (when viewing the Package Contents), then
inside the MacOS folder, then update only the actual UNIX executable
file in there, but this doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks for any suggestions.
