FTPing a Rev OSX app

[Andre Garzia]

Richard,
never transfer MacOS files thru ftp without putting them on a safe
container. Best way to transfer your application is by using a zip file. Zip
the application bundle and use RevZip functions to extract it later. This is
actually how Revolution own updater works I think.
