That was interesting. Evidently Firefox had decided for me that it would take over handling the FTP protocol. When I pasted ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2 into Safari, it opened Firefox. I hadn't noticed before because I usually use a standalone FTP client.
I used the RCDefaultApp preference pane ( http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/) to give FTP handling back to Finder. Safari then turned the FTP handling over to Finder and I was then able to connect as a guest and drag and drop the Mac dmg into my Downloads folder. A little slow, over 10 minutes to download, but it worked. Safari 6.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5. -- Rich On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 1:38 PM, Scott Kostyshak <skost...@lyx.org> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 3:04 PM, Uwe Ade <uwe....@gmx.de> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > me again.
