FTP
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 started to remove 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".
Using a dedicated FTP client
There are many FTP client applications and you can use any of them.
One of the most popular FTP clients is FileZilla, which is also graphical & multi-platform.
To download it you can use the web link above, or in Ubuntu you can run the following:
$ apt install filezilla
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
