Kosta88 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm currently trying to install the fun_plug for my NAS, and came across a weird thing. On this homepage there is a file called "fun_plug". This file, when downloaded via Safari via save linked file as, downloads, but Safari saves it as TEXT. And it also doesn't work out as an installation file for the funplug When I download the same file via Firefox, it is saved as is, and I can install the funplug normally. Any ideas?

Permissions problem most likely. When you download the file, file permissions tend to be ignored. Open up terminal and type sudo chmod 777 on that file Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287667-safari-saving-unix-exectuables-as-text/#findComment-1904286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosta88 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Does this happen with Safari only? Because it doesn't with Firefox!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287667-safari-saving-unix-exectuables-as-text/#findComment-1904627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
