Syntax Errors

Question

I'm getting messages about syntax errors in one or more files.

Answer

Syntax errors are an indication that there was a problem uploading the specified file to your server: either it was not uploaded in ASCII mode, or the file was truncated during transfer.

Upload the file(s) again, making sure to specifically choose an ASCII or plain text transfer mode; and verify that the file size on the server after the upload matches the original file size.
