You don't have to send the files as a stuffit archive. A Mac user that has
Stuffit installed will also read zip files (or .gzip, .tar or .gtar if he/she
is using OS X). As for the file names length, it depends: its 32 characters if
using OS 9 but OS X will be happy with file names up to 255 characters. You
should export your site before sending it to the Mac.

Hi Joaquim -
Export? There's nothing in the help files about exporting a site. How do I do
that?

osX is happy with long filenames, but dw MX on osX will only take the same
32 total max characters as os9, and will have site management issues with
filenames between 26 and 32 total including the . and extension
so it would be best to rename the files and folders on your machine to a max
of 26 total characters
MX 2004 on mac has no issues with filename length.
Yes- you can send them a Zip archive, Stuffit on every mac will expand it
fine.
I think Joaquim meant Export the site definition- under site-->manage sites.
That will make a copy of the ftp info if you choose the Include All info
option. They will have to edit the site definition after they import it, so
it's pointed to the right Local Folder where they put the files.
