Windows Briefcase and FTP transfer

[Synapse Syndrome]

I have started to use the Windows Briefcase quite a lot again since I have
been using laptops a lot. However, when I transfer a Briefcase full of
files from my FTP server it appears as a normal folder on the laptop, but
with a 'Briefcase Database' and a desktop.ini file in it. Why does the
Windows Briefcase not work once transferred through FTP?

Sounds like the read-only bit on the folder is being cleared. Use 'attrib +r <foldername>' from a
command prompt window to set it.
