Someone just uploaded a file to my FTP server. The full name is "test1mb.ptf" The file was clean...I scan everything before clicking on it....but I couldn't open it with anything. WTH is it?

.ptf is a file extension for special case files and require decompiling components of the file prior to accessing it. It really stands for Pretty Tough File because the decomposition requirements :)

Thanks very much, especially for the links...the more info the better. I just checked the folders and 24 hours later, someone UL'd 100mb worth of PS2 games. Now, if I only had a PS2. :(

Oops. Guess I didn't look carefully enough. 3 folders with 332mb each. Only having a 15kbps upload sucks. Next week I get RR instead of DSL 45kbps sounds much better. :)
