Media file

[Pieces]

I just created a windows media file for my site, when I open it it dreamweaver it plays fine or if I open it in a browser not uped to the ftp it plays fine. But when I up it to the ftp it does not play on my site it just shows a white box. I tried a few different computers and showed the same white box, thinking maybe it was my computer? I listed my code below I am hoping I am missing something stupid. I was going to list my website so maybe someone elese could check and see if it works at your end. But I am not sure if that is against this web forum rules. If someone could help I thank you in adavance.

Did you ftp the media file too?

AND did you upload that media file in binary mode?

[Pieces]

Yes I upped the media file. I am not sure what you mean by binary mode. Maybe that is the problem how can I do that?

[ray326]

FTP can transfer in ASCII or binary mode. ASCII mode is used for text where end of line and other system-dependent translations are done on the fly. Binary transmits the file with no changes. The latter is necessary for media files.

I don't think that is the problem I use WS FTP. It has Automatic or Auto Detect mode for transfer for ASCII and BINARY files.

I am so confused I have tried many different media files, and many different size files all work fine but when they are uped to the ftp they don't work on the site?

The only thing left is a misconfigured server. It's not sending the correct content-type for the media files.
