Okay, I will do that. I will let you know how the beta works out in a few days.
I downloaded from downloads - DewNewPHPLinks page 2

I just fixed the specs.php file for my v.2.0.1.0a SEF by uploading the specs.php file from the latest release.

OK kick ass! Godaddy is all good. I did what you described and the test file worked fine!
Here is is... http://www.glacierviewlandscape.com/landscaping_links/godaddy_phpscript

Can you describe however, what does uploading using ASCII do, what's the difference?

Now if I could get my customer to pay me for my SEO time so that I will get payed for doing all this link building to help promote his site...ie I want to setup the beta version of this script but being so busy - will not be making the time unless my customer agrees to pay me for my time spent on the SEO outcome of this awesome script!

Uploading as ASCII refers to using an FTP program to upload files. Basically text files
are stored differently than a binary file, like an image, or a zip file. Typically an FTP program will know what method to use based on the file extension ..

.zip , .gif , .jpg would all be uploaded as binary files

.txt, .php , .html would all be uploaded as ASCII/txt

Since the actual workhorse of the script has no file extension, your FTP program can't automatically tell which method to use. Accidentally uploading the "directory" file as binary won't necessarily break it, but I suspect uploading & downloading a few times with the wrong method would eventually corrupt the file, filling parts of it with gibberish.

Here is an informative page on the subject http://courses.wccnet.edu/computer/mod/na36c.htm

cool, thanks alot, now if I can just figure out if my FTP client (FTP surfer) is doing as it is always set to the default file type...again thanks for the response and I will let you know if or when I start testing with the beta!
