    <p>I am a windows developer and I had to port an app to Mac. I built it fine and have everything working except my installer. I built my Package file (.pkg) which installs fine and works great on a Mac.</p> <p>However, I want to move the file to a windows OS over a network to upload it to an ftp server. My ftp client is on Windows. I have done this before without issues on previous .pkg files but I just created one that is acting strange. When I view most .pkg files in windows explorer, they are treated almost like an unknown file type. Windows lets me see the file but I can't really do anything with it. This is fine because I just want to move the file, not use it in any other way. </p> <p>Unfortunately, I have a new .pkg file that windows strangely treats like a directory instead of just a single file. I can open it and see the "Contents" folder and some internal files/binaries/whatever that I don't want to see. While this is similar to the MacOS functionality, it causes problems because it is uploaded as a directory rather than a file. I just want to drag it to my server and let people download it. Why is this happening? </p> <p>I have looked online a fair amount and nobody seems to have this issue. It does seem to be permissions related. I saw a good amount of people complaining about "Custom Access" and oddly enough, when I click "get info" on the file, it does say I have "custom access". .Pkg files that seem to display correctly in windows explorer do not have this set. Anyways I would really appreciate the help. I could probably just get an ftp client on the Mac but this does seem really strange and it may help others if there is a solution.</p>

    2. COSorry that answer didn't helped, I thought your problem was that Windows shows your pkg as a directory (which it also is on Mac OS X) and that one can't download directories from FTP servers. Mind updating your question a bit to make it more clear what you actual problem is?

    3. COHey JustSid, Sounds good. I'll try and make it clearer. It seems like there should be a simple fix but I haven't found it yet. Thanks very much for the input.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
