[Hardhats-members] Installing KIDS

[Bruce Reed]

I have installed the Semi Viva Vista FOIA Gold on my computer at home, per the instructions given from the WorldVista Forum. Everything seems to be working fine so far, but I would like the ability to update the system by loading the KIDS builds from the VA ftp site. When trying to load a KIDS build I get the error shown below. I have also included the HFS entry in fileman. The vista user account I use to log into the machine has rwx access to the directory containing the KIDS build. I have gotten the same error on every other KIDS build I have tried to install. Yes, I did insure I downloaded the KIDS build in an ASCII format. Has anyone ever been able to load KIDS builds on this type of installation ? Thank you.
