[Elecraft] K3/P3 utilities and error 127

[David Sanders W4DES]

I keep getting this from the k3util and p3 util on Linux Mint 17:
17:58:33 Connecting to ftp.elecraft.com. Please be patient, this takes a few seconds.
17:58:33 Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

I can connect to ftp.elecraft.com from other programs and download the firmware, but I’d like to get the utilities working.

Any suggestions?
