That’s not my experience. Just yesterday I unzipped a the
current beta version into a folder named “K3FW2R63” that was a
subfolder of “My Documents”. I used the K3 Utility
Firmware page “Browse” button to navigate to that folder and I
loaded the K3 directly from that folder.
To download non-beta firmware into a folder of your choice,
first create a folder (perhaps using the Windows Explorer). Then navigate
to that folder with the K3 Utility’s Firmware Page “browse”
function or type in the location of the folder. Check the “copy
files from Elecraft” check box and click “Check Versions Now”.
The K3 Utility should copy all the files into that folder, whether it’s
the default folder or not.
The K3 Utility doesn’t create a folder for you. If
you type in the name of a folder that doesn’t exist, you’ll get
file write errors during the “copy files” phase.

I
have downloaded many firmware files from Elecraft and found that downloading
the beta files can be downloaded to any folder you desire using Windows
Internet explorer. The non-beta firmware can only be downloaded in to the
defult folder of the Elecraft installer program then later moved into the
desired folder. You don't use the FTP site for non-beta firmware.
Installing
both beta and non-beta firmware from my own folder is successful.
