Can't ftp download files and drivers with Chrome or Edge

Having download problems?
For years, some items on our web site use the File Transfer Protocol known as FTP.
You may see a URL like:
ftp://ftp.sbig.com/pub/SetupDriverChecker64.exe

Mozilla Firefox:
This just works (as of this writing version 86.01).
You can download from ftp easily.

Google Chrome:
Google Chrome won't do it any more, unless you change a setting to enable FTP again like it used to be.
(as of this writing, version 89.0.4389.90)
In the address bar, put in:
chrome://flags/#enable-ftp
Then change this to Enabled


Microsoft Edge:
In the Address Bar, put in:
edge://flags/#enable-ftp
Then change it from Default to Enabled:


Over time, we'll migrate everything to http/https.
However this should get you going again.
