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).

That's why some of us use Firefox! The URL: ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware/beta/ is valid and "just works" in Firefox... It should also work in an FTP program.

I guess there is no reason why it wouldn't also work in IE, but I don't use that program.

I finally decided to try to downloadfor 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?

Thanks in advance for any help.
