I have been trying for days in nightly sessions(19 hours now) to download charts that i purchased from chartworld into open cpn. Chartworld wants to help but keeps telling me to copy and paste a link that doesn't work. I have downloaded Filezilla to be able to get the ftp protocol charts and keys downloaded but my fingerprint file is hidden so I can't enter it into O charts to get my install permit. I have been trying to use AI but it keeps looping me through the same dead ends. I have all but given up and asked for my money back from chartworld but they don't seem to want to do that. At one point I actually had the user code, install permit and fingerprint file all in the S63 tab on open cpn but when i tried to download the charts an error message came up saying invalid user. I am in disbelief that it is this difficult to simply download purchased charts. I am not a computer scientist just a sailor wanting charts for Vanuatu, Solomons. PNG and Indonesia. Has anyone been through this and knows the work around? I don't know but think it has something to do with my laptop being new with windows 11 that refuses to work with ftp files.
