Re: [Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem
I finally decided to try to download for the first time the beta software for my K3. So the problem begins. When I copy and paste the URL for the download into my browser I eventually get an error message internet explorer can not display the webpage just like I would expect if my internet connection was down. So do I have something not turned on for this download maybe? Are you using a router maybe? Or a wireless access point that is doing NAT? Take a look at the advanced tab of the internet options settings in IE, whatever the IE version you are using. This would be Tools - Internet Options. Make sure the passive mode has a check in it for FTP. Close IE, re-open it, and see if it's working now. Often times, active FTP mode won't work behind a router or access point, or for other reasons. Let us know if this fixed your issue. And, as was mentioned up the thread, IE (and Firefox, for that matter, even with add-ons) are poor excuses for FTP clients. There are lots of free alternatives out there that will do a lot better job of doing FTP file transfers. You might want to install one of these FTP clients on your system.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem
I tried with IE7, and it launched Core FTP, so I guess IE7 doesn't handle FTP natively. As Dave stated, Firefox OTOH worked perfectly. It would seem you have two choices, Ed: - Use Firefox - Obtain an FTP program (there are a number of them out there, including Core FTP). 73, Dave KQ3T Dave G4AON wrote: That's why some of us use Firefox!

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem
but, but, but...unless Elecraft specifically excludes IE6,7, 8, 15, et al, then it should work. So, what is actually wrong?

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem
I just accessed the Elecraft FTP site using IE7 with no problem. You can also get to it by using Windows Explorer. Using XP Pro SP3. Of course, Firefox 3.0 works too. 73, Ken K3IU David Cutter wrote: but, but, but...unless Elecraft specifically excludes IE6,7, 8, 15, et al, then it should work.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem
My guess is that there is some setting, perhaps in your browser but possibly in your firewall, that is denying you FTP access. My copy of IE7 gives me direct access to the FTP directory without launching a separate FTP client. When I look in my browser settings under the Advanced tab, I see that I have Enable FTP folder view checked - maybe that might have something to do with it(?). 73, Rich VE3KI but, but, but...unless Elecraft specifically excludes IE6,7, 8, 15, et al, then it should work.

David G3UNA It always works with IE 7 for me unless I double click the link on the web site instead of copying it to the link field at the top of IE 7 like the instructions suggest. If you're copying it instead of double clicking it, I haven't a clue what could be wrong.
