Unable to download the maps : Access rights problems ?

Hello There,

I am trying to download the Caribbean Maps for OpenCPN, directly from within my browser. I am getting the message : "Unable to display URL".
I have tried to go FTP, with anonymous/password, I can see the files but I don't have download access to them (Permission denied).

Can you help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Thierry

Re: Unable to download the maps : Access rights problems ?

Hi Thierry,

I would recommend to use the download links provided either in this forum under

Forum: KAP charts OpenCPN

or in the OpenSeaMap Wiki under:

OpenSeaMap Wiki

The links there are maintained, so they normally, if there is no error, will point to the current version of the specified chart bundle. If you directly fetch the bundles by ftp, you have to pick the latest version, hoping it is not faulty, which sometimes happens.
