I copied the URL and pasted it at the top of IE in the destination box and
then it worked.

I had problems from my Mac using Safari but moved to a Windows  
platform downloaded to a flash drive and then moved to the Mac to  
install....Kudos to the developer of the NR improvements...a much  
needed upgrade in my view...night and day in fact.

Hi Rich-

I have been unable to successfully ftp download from the Elecraft Beta
software site since version 3.19, while using MS IE-7 or the Windows XP
command line ftp.  I have not changed my PC software, hardware, or network
ISP (Sprint Aircard EVDO) - but, nevertheless something has changed
somewhere to cause my disconnect.  Wayne was a gem and emailed firmware
update files directly to me prior to my travels to 8R1.  

Ultimately, my Elecraft beta file FTP solution was to download a standalone
FTP client http://filezilla-project.org/download.php .  Filezilla is
extremely powerful and features great configuration flexibility.  In my
case, the Filezilla setting "ACTIVE Transfer" was the silver bullet for FTP
downloads of Elecraft beta firmware updates.

Good luck.

73,
Terry K4RX sn 2478

No problems here chaps;  I'm using WS_FTP Pro as my FTP Client.

No problem here either.
Bill, on a Mac, you can connect directly to the FTP site, as if it  
were a folder (you can on other OS's if you know how)...

In the Finder, click "Connect to Server" under the "Go" menu, or type  
cmd-K (cmd being the Apple key).
Type in the url - "ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware/beta" and click  
the "+" button to add it to the list of servers so it is remembered  
for the future, then click "Connect". After a few seconds, you should  
get a folder window appear that shows the content of the FTP site -  
drag and drop from there.

When I first went to the site it would not download,  I hit the refresh
button and then all was well.  Has happened a few times like that
seems my computer needed to refresh the page and all was well.

Re: FTP Site Problem?

Brett Howard
Also many browsers will flush the cache and refresh if you hold shift
while clicking refresh.

I think most of these problems stem from more and more ISPs starting
to use transparent caching proxy servers so they can over sell their
bandwidth to even higher points.  There isn't a whole lot that can be
done about that but they usually keep those servers off the FTP ports.
Seems that's starting to change though.
