i have a PHP upload site running on my linux box, and my primary clients are macintosh users, so I'm confident it CAN be done ... A couple of thoughts: 1. What browser and version are your Macs using? 2. Are you parsing the file name, and limiting the name to characters you KNOW to be valid? That's one of the biggest problems I had getting started ... the valid characters in a file name are different on each platform ... you'll have to come up with filenames that work for YOU ... 3. On a related note, how are you confirming that the files are not uploaded? I had a couple of situations in which, based on the file names, the file showed up when viewed, for example, on windows, but NOT when viewed (via netatalk) on a macintosh. Hope that helps. If not, let me know, and I'll be happy to look at your code if you like.
