====FTP Link via Midnight Commander (mc)====

The FTP link support via browser has been deprecated by many modern browsers. However, you can download the necessary files from the FTP server using your terminal (via Midnight Commander, which comes preinstalled on myCNC Ubuntu MATE OS images).

1) Open your terminal and type in //mc//, then press Enter:

4) Once the connection has been established, you will have access to the files on the FTP server (the right side is now the FTP server, while the left side is your local PC):

5) From here, you can use the F5 key on your keyboard to copy the necessary files to your local computer.
