Richard,

Don’t use a browser,

Try using an ftp client.

Always been a better option for me.

Subject: Enabling FTP Transfer in Your Browser

Greetings,
I just found that I could not download a file through an FTP link.  After some 
searching, discovered this article that explains about browsers recently 
blocking FTP links and how to fix it.

Enabling FTP Transfer in Your Browser
Starting in late 2020, web browser developers began disabling FTP (File 
Transfer Protocol) file downloads by default. Our assumption is that they 
consider such downloads security risks. Artwork makes all of our software 
available to customers via FTP so until we change this, our customers still 
need to use FTP. This article describes how the user can change the browser to 
allow FTP file downloads.
Firefox
Firefox version 86 and later block FTP by default. If you get a strange dialog 
box after clicking on an ftp link on one of Artwork's download pages, this is 
the reason. (Note - it is also possible that your company's firewall may block 
all FTP traffic. Check with your IT department if you are not sure.)

type into Firefox's address bar: about:config
[cid:[email protected]]
You will be warned to proceed with caution:
[cid:[email protected]]
Accept the Risk and Continue.

When presented with the next window, enter into the search box the term "ftp". 
You will see a number of settings related to ftp file transfers.
[cid:[email protected]]
We are interested in the parameter network.ftp.enabled. If the value is set to 
false, then ftp is disabled. We want to change that value from false to true. 
To change the value from false to true click on the toggle button.
[click on the toggle button to change from false to true]
After doing this you will see the value is now true.
[The flag for network.ftp.enabled is now true.]
You can close this window; now you will be able to use ftp to download 
Artwork's programs.

________________________________

Google Chrome
By default, Google Chrome will attempt to send you to a different application 
in order to use FTP as you can see below when I try to download Qckvu3 from 
Artwork's web site:
[Chrome's default behavior for FTP transfers]
To correct this, first type into the address bar: chrome://flags and you will 
see the following window:
[the chrome://flags window]
Now type into the search bar: enable-ftp
You should see the flag for enable-ftp. If it is set to Default or to Disabled, 
press the label/button and select Enabled.
[set the Chrome flag for enable-ftp to Enable.]
Now all you need to do is to press the button labeled Relaunch at the bottom of 
the window. This will restart Chrome and your change will take effect.
Once you have done this, you should be able to download Artwork's software from 
our web site using Chrome.

Microsoft Edge
Since recent versions of Microsoft Edge are built on Chrome, the instructions 
for enabling ftp on Edge are exactly the same as those for Chrome. (see above)
