Re: FTP Site Down?

[Mike VE3YF]

Hi:

Today had nothing on my plate and wanted to do a firmware update to MCU 5.50. I am using the latest utility dated back in early summer and it can't find anything on the site. However if I go to the FTP site manually I see the files MCU 5.50 and DSP 2.87, but would rather the utility do the work.

Mike,

I had no problem doing just that just before noon Eastern time today.
Perhaps you should reload K3 Utility.

Thanks Don:

I found the problem, for some reason in many of the Windows 10 updates/upgrades it had put my C:\ as a protected drive and would not allow files to be written to the Elecraft Folder where I hold all the files. Even my FTP program would not download to that directory, I had to create a new folder on my F:\drive and download to the new directory and then manually copy the files over and then do the update. I now have to see why that C:\ is protected. Aren't computers fun. Tnx Agn Don...

Mike,

If you are not able to fix that 'protected drive' problem, it is a
simple matter to point K3 Utility to the files on your "F" drive - just
use the Browse button and navigate to the location of the files.  That
new location should be 'sticky'.
