I’m sorry if I’m not very clear... my english, you know...

I hope this makes sense to you:
- I downloaded the MODx 0.9.5. zip and unzipped it on my local computer. I call these the local files from now on.
- I uploaded the unzipped local files to the server.
- The local config.php [1] appears fine, but the remote file on my server is damaged. This is before even running the installer.
- This happens every time I upload this particular file.
However, I noticed if I open the local file in Dreamweaver, save it and upload again, it does not get damaged. So yes, perhaps it’s wrongly encoded and I guess Dreamweaver repairs that.
