I use keyboard shortcuts for navigation and documentation.
Tools, Options, Advanced tab can be entered by pressing:
Alt-T,O,Ctrl-Backtab
Within the Advanced tab you can press the first letter or the
first two letters of any item in that dialog. Pressing u only
takes you to Underline links but pressing u and s quickly
would take you to Use inline AutoComplete. Doing it again
would take you to the option that I suggested that you uncheck.
So, assuming you have unchecked that, what isn't working?
FTP folder display at the site you mentioned or at the Microsoft site?
If it is the Microsoft site be aware that you have to use the Login As...
command with Anonymous as the user and an E-mail address
as its password. After you try to open the ftp: URL the Login As...
command is available in the File menu. (Alt-F,A,Alt-a)
BTW it may help you to understand what is going on by doing a trial
FTP connection from a command window. For example, that way
you should see proof that anonymous login is not available on that
site you first tried.
Also, in case you haven't thought of it, their web site seems to have a lot
of drivers available. Is the one you were looking for available here?
< http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/down/drivers.htm >
That assumes you would answer the prompt for country with USA.
Otherwise drill down to the equivalent page from < www.saitek.com >
