Hi,

I have an Airport Extreme (new one) connected to the Internet and have a printer and two USB hard drives plugged into it via a hub.

Three macs and two PCs share the network wirelessly.

The problem I'm having is that when I download GIF files via FTP directly to one of the shared hard drives, the file corrupts in some way. If I 'Save Picture As' from a browser or FTP to the Windows Desktop, it all works fine and I can then copy the file onto a shared hard drive fine. But FTP downloads to the drives result in corruption. The problem occurs using either Dreamweaver or Windows Explorer to FTP. :confused:

All of this works fine on the Macs.

Could it be a problem related to the file format of the hard drives? They were formatted by a Mac.
