Your FTP client and email client (or web server, if you are using webmail) may be sending the CDF files as ASCII, which is often the default if the file type is not recognized, and may be throwing in extra line breaks that wreck the file. Try setting your FTP client to send CDF files (or all files, for that matter) as Binary. As for email, if it is webmail, ask your Sys Admin to set a Mime type for CDF so that it is recognized as an application. If you are using some an e-mail client (Outlook or whatever), you may have to look around in the settings to see how it handles attachments. -- Helen Read University of Vermont
