weatherwiz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I've come to realize for some reason I can't save files from the PSU bufkit site at school. I remember having this problem last semester but I just though it was my laptop but then at home it would work. Anyways, when I go to the PSU bufkit site with my laptop at school and I right click on a location I would like to save my file for, no save box comes up. I right click, and click on "save link as" but nothing happens. However, anywhere else I don't have this issue. If I go to other bufkit sites, it works. Why is this?

bobbutts Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The buffkit files are on an FTP server, so that's a different port/protocol and is likely blocked on your school's network. You can work around it by using a VPN or your own mobile connection. Another possible workaround would be to find another source for the files over http or https Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Try:http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/data/ or better yet, just set up bufget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
