Any Chance of making JAD a valid file?

    I wanted to upload a test applet for my mobile (only want I can slap it onto the phone until I get the datacable sorted).

    I can upload the JAR ok but when I try to upload the JAD it tells me this file type is not allowed?

    Is that intentional? Just curious.

    Renamed the Jad to .txt to upload it.

    Is there a reason why it isn't? I posted in Admin but no reply?

    Extensions are considered on a case by case basis (endorsements don't help or hurt really). I read your original posts, but your second one seemed to suggest that you had solved your problem.

    Well kind of but it didn't. :/

    JAD is basically a text file. So I renamed to upload but then I found I couldn't rename it back to JAD again.

    I tried downloading that to the phone but just comes in as Text (as expected).

    Cheers but... :(
    To do that job you have to add a new MIME type into
    your web server :

    text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
    and then upload it.

    If that is too much hassle don't bother. I'll see if I can do it elsewhere. :/
