I have looked at that page before. I used one several years ago but don't remember the name of it.

Nice find Curt. I had looked at their ftp site just yesterday and didn't find any msi files. However, today I looked again and found one for version 11.

Ath, was I supposed to fix it or you already did? Its not working for me. I guess I didn't know for sure we couldn't do ftp although I did wonder about it at the time.

Well, I can't fix it, the url handling code of SMF prefixes it with http:// and the link gets the colon removed after the ftp prefix
Manually fixing the url works though

is there a special reason why the forum doesn't / won't accept ftp URLs?
