[Elecraft] Re: Beta Software Download Problem

[Dave KQ3T]

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).
