Is your web server supplying the correct MIME header for .sis files (application/vnd.symbian.install)?

PLEASE HELP ME

The browser - no browser on any platform - is not looking inside files to see what they contain and they shouldn't.

Also, most browsers don't use the file name or extension either in ordet to try to figure out what it is receiving.

In other words, it is not enough to just put the file on a web server.

The web server must be configured to send the correct file headers (MIME type) as part of the HTTP protocol. If that is not done, the phone's browser will not know what kind of content it is receiving and what it needs to do with it. When that happens, it does whatever is its default behaviour in such situations.

So, you have to do whatever's need on your web server (depending on what/whose server it is), or ask whomever administers it to do it for you.

Alternatively, you need to either get a PC-based MMC reader (and a card) for your PC, or infrared or Bluetooth for your PC so that you can send the files to your phone that way.

Or find a web or WAP server correctly configured (possibly already with the files you want).
