Difficulty Downloading from our FTP Site
 
Below are common errors reported by user's trying to download from our FTP site.
  
A few things to check first are:
   -  Make sure that ftp.minolta-qms.com resolves to the right IP address (161.33.3.3)
   - If you are using Internet Explorer and you are behind a firewall make sure that you have turned on the Passive FTP setting:
 Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Use Passive FTP
Downloads:
1.
 I cannot download the file because it's access protected (or some other error phrase indicating that special permission is required).
NONE of the material that is posted on the web site (FTP site) is restricted or password protected.
The only requirements for downloads, is that the customer provide an Email address (either manually via FTP login, or automatically through their browser configuration. Other than the Email requirement, it is possible that the user had configuration issue on his or her end.
 It is possible that a FTP configuration issue exists on your end ... ensure that you have Passive-Mode FTP enabled (see your PC or Network Administrator if you are not sure).
Issues may exist with your browser (for example, there is a known bug with Internet Explorer 5, which causes interference when trying to access FTP sites, and modifying (via the browser options) how FTP sites are accessed can help).  You may need to query the web site or documentation for the browser you use for hints on known issues.
If you are positive that there are no configuration issues on your end (Email or Passive-Mode FTP), call 877-778-2687 in the USA to inquire about the status of the file being downloaded.

When I click on the file to download, it acts as if it's about to do something, then it stalls and nothing happens.
 Again, usually indicates a protocol or configuration problem on customer's end. We have NO restrictions to any files offered for download. You may try again at another time, or call
877-778-2687 in the USA to inquire about the status of the file being downloaded.
 Specifically with PDF files, the customer's browser configuration (for apps), and version of Acrobat Reader can be the culprit. Check the browser settings to see which application helper or plug-in has been assigned, and ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) software.
3.
When I click on the file to download, it just opens up on the screen and I can't download.
 A left mouse click will launch whatever application that your browser has configured for that file extension, in the manner (plug-in or externally) configured.
 A right mouse click (in Netscape and Internet Explorer), will allow you to save link as, and prompt for a target directory to which the file will be downloaded.
4.
 I cannot download the PDF documents.
 A left mouse click will launch whatever Adobe Acrobat Reader version that your browser has configured, in the manner (plug-in or externally) configured, for read-only, print-only viewing.
A right mouse click (in Netscape and Internet Explorer), will allow you to save link as, and prompt for a target directory to which the file will be downloaded.
