Hello, I have Apache 2 running on FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE on a laptop on a small office lan. Whenever one of the other machines (mostly Macs) makes a request for a certain page on my machine, it is delivered succesfully but the file itself is absolutely scrambled beyond recognition into a binary file. Subsequent requests rescramble it into a different but equally nonsense binary. I've looked with a binary editor and it really is completely messed up. I can restore the file from a good archive copy, but every time the same thing happens. The file was originally created on a mac by Flash (it's a 1.1k html file which just embeds a flash movie). Recently I copied it to and from a Solaris box via ftp from an Windows NT machine (although it wasn't opened afaik - a long story, clearly, which also involves a usb flash drive...). Anyone have any ideas? The file itself is inconsequential, but the fact of such blatant and relentless data corruption is very worrying to me! I don't know if it's the file or my system or some combination... I'd really appreciate some advice, I've been staring at it for two days and I'm starting to bite my nails... Thanks a lot, Ben
