    Any Mac OS X users having problems with vBSEO?

    So, here's the thing:

    I tried to update my vBSEO to the latest using Safari on Mac OS X 10.4.5.

    The download went fine except that Safari thinks the files were executables which they aren't.
    I was thinking this is no problem but I was proven wrong. :(

    Not knowing what problems this may cause I used Transmit (FTP client) to upload the new files and overwrite the old ones just like I did on my windows computer.
    First thing: the .htaccess is invisible on Mac OS X (I have no idea where to change that setting) so it can't be uploaded.
    Second thing: The files were all cropped. Don't know wether it was Transmit or OS X but they were damaged on the server (missing ?> at the end or even totally damaged).


    So what happened? vBSEO wasn't working at all.. I got a fatal error and I tried to re-upload the file but no success. In the meantime Transmit deleted my whole 'include' folder..

    I ended up in front of my old windows computer on which I had to upload the new files again and overwrite my old files which I had uploaded before using Mac OS X.

    Now my community is working again but I had a downtime of 30 minutes and the worst thing: I don't even know who to blame for that!
    I still have problems with the vBSEO CP but I hope to get this sorted out quickly.


    So, are there any Mac users who have had similar problems?

    This might be a problem of FTP software you are using (incorrect files transfer).

    PM sent.


    Btw, vBSEO package includes htaccess.txt file in the ""docs (do not upload)"" folder especially for Mac users (since .htaccess may be invisible for them), so you can upload it and then rename to .htaccess on the server side.
