Got it to work. My router for my home network needed to be configured to allow 
transfers. I am downloading right now. Thank all of you for helping me with 
this. Now I am wondering, what else is available in the ftp world and how do I 
find it?

Same thing with internet explorer. Additionally, if I have smartFTP
open, and I click on the link, it tries to open the server but fails.
What else could be wrong?


In WS_FTP, you may need to break up that URL and enter the pieces 
separately.


For the hostname (or server, I forget what WS_FTP calls it) put:
telshena.dyndns.org

For the username, put:
Diesel

For the password, put:
diesel

Using an ftp client has the added advantage -most of them anyway- that
if your connection is interrupted during a download your can resume
the download from the point at which it was interrupted instead of
starting over from scratch, which can be quite significant when
downloading files the size of these manuals.  SmartFTP is another good
one, free for personal use.  All you really need to download for all
the manuals except the 201 is the Program folder.  Get Acrobat reader
from adobe.com and  Flash from macromedia.com if you don't already
have them.  Then find the file matrix.htm or matrix6.htm, depending on
the specific manual.  Make a shortcut to that file, rename it for
identification purposes, and put it in a convenient place (like your
desktop) and use the shortcut to take you directly to model selection
in the manual(s) w/o having to wade thru the usual startup nonsense. 
Expect the downloads to take quite a number of hours depending on the
speed of the server and/or your own connection; this shouldn't however
preclude using your machine for other purposes.

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> check the box for "Enable Folder View for FTP Sites".  Doing that forces IE 
into active FTP, regardless of the whether the box for "Use Passive FTP" is checked or not.


Better yet, get a real FTP client:

WS_FTP: http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html
CuteFTP: http://www.cuteftp.com/products/ftp_clients.asp

Grab one of those and use it to access the site, instead of a web browser.

Unlike Internet Exploder, I'm unaware of any option in FireFox to change between passive and active FTP transfers.  So, 
either use IE, or use an actual FTP program instead of a web browser.  WS_FTP is great, so is CuteFTP, and there are 
tons of free FTP clients out there.

You'll have to use a "real" FTP client, not a web browser.  I don't 
think Firefox supports active mode, and the person who hosts that site 
has disabled passive mode.  If you're running Windows, WSFTP is one option.

Trying to open this I get  550  Passive mode not allowed on this server. I am 
using Mozilla Firefox. Is this just a setting to get to this site?

FYI All,

I would say that the below site makes the skinnerbox site obsolete since
all the skinnerbox site does is to serve the pdfs, slowly I might add.
Using the below link you can download *ALL* of them to your hard drive at

Yes, but only the 123 manual pages are active.

Some of the 126 and 116 stuff was available before, wasn't it?
