Downloading from an FTP server
Variscite uses an FTP server to deliver software releases and other files to customers. Recently, Google Chrome, Firefox and possibly other browsers have began removing FTP support.
Enabling FTP support in Google Chrome
Google Chrome disables FTP support by default. To enable it:
1. Open Chrome and enter the following in the address bar:
chrome://flags/
2. Search for "Enable support for FTP URLs" and set it to "Enabled".
Downloading FTP files using wget
The easiest way to download files from an FTP server using the Linux command line is to use wget:
$ wget <user:password@URL>
For example:
$ wget ftp://customerv:Variscite1@ftp.variscite.com/VAR-SOM-MX8X/Software/b2qt/b2qt-dunfell-var-som-mx8x-v1.0.img.gz
