The file you've downloaded is supposed to be called just "butler" - no file extension.

I've tried looking around to see if other people were seeing files downloaded as "XXX.dms", and found this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/whats-with-the-dms.39559/ - do you have any extensions like Speed Download II that could cause Safari to attribute the wrong file extension to a download?

I double checked and Safari (which I use to download) has zero extensions. This works:

  • download (extension adds itself somehow)
  • rename *.dms file (remove extension)
  • chmod +x (this is required)
  • run butler

So, the extension is added in error. Using Safari 11.0.3 over macOS Sierra (not the broken OS that's high on something) 10.12.6 

I looked on and found this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/safari-erroneously-adding-dms-extension-to-...
It's "possible" that this is fixed in High Sierra (or a late regression on Sierra?) but I wasn't trying to be funny here; really had a bad bad time with that (the latest OS, not butler!) notably when combined with Unity.

Didn't stop me from using Butler overall but not a great experience : )

Thanks for your quick reply by the way.

Hey, thanks for the additional info!

I double-checked yesterday as well (on Sierra) and it downloaded without adding any file extensions

So now I'm really confused :) I suppose we could also serve a .zip archive, so that at least when it extracts it'll have the right file extension (you'll still need to chmod +x though, since macOS's default unarchiver refuses to give the executable bit to any entry in a .zip file for some reason).
