K3 BETA FIRMWARE RELEASE -- MCU rev 1.9

[Raymond METZGER]

Hi Elecrafters,

I have always loaded FW releases from the normal http:// Elecraft server.
To load the latest beta version, we are instructed to access an FTP server
(URL = ftp://ftp.elecraft...)
My Internet Explorer config does not allow me to access the FTP site.
What should I do ?

Thanks and 73

My IE version 6 works fine, Raymond, but sometimes it takes a minute
for their FTP server to respond.  I thought that all recent IE
versions included FTP capability.  But I use Firefox.  I've found that
it's less annoying overall than IE.  If nothing else works, maybe you
could download Firefox and try it.  Or there's a number of free FTP
clients available on the web.

Hallo,

There are many FTP clients available. If for some reason the poor  
implementatioon of the Internet Exploder is causing problems, just use  
another client.

On most Windows machines you should be able to do something like this:

Open a CLI Window (cmd) then

ftp ftp.elecraft.com
user: anonymous
passw: [hidden email]
cd /K3/firmware/beta
bin
ls

use "get" to download the files you want.

I've not actually done this but in principle it should work.

Raymond,

I believe you should have several choices:  Change your IE
configuration; or download another browser such as Mozilla Firefox; or
use an FTP application to copy the files to a local folder on your
computer and point K3 Utility to that folder.  I am certain these are
only 3 of the workable solutions, there are many, many other ways to do it.
