This is a step-by-step pictorial guide of how to use BEIKS' BeFTP to download dictionaries to the phone's media card.

Note you must have already downloaded, installed and ran once BEIKS Dictionary Reader 5.0 on the BlackBerry.

Naturally, when you run it BEIKS Dictionary Reader would report that it can not find installed dictionaries. That is OK.

1) Download BeFTP . You do NOT need to pay for it if all you are going to be using it for is downloading Bibles or dictionaries from BEIKS' website.

2) Run BeFTP from the main application launcher on your BlackBerry:

3) Shortly after launching, a registration screen should appear. Hit the CONTINUE button unless you plan on using BeFTP often or for profit purposes:

4) In the main BeFTP screen, click the "Open BEIKS public FTP" to connect to the BEIKS public file server.


5) If everything is right you should shortly see a picture of a folder called "public".
If the BlackBerry stalls or you receive an error then you will have to troubleshoot your BeFTP connection.


6) Select and click the "public" folder; that should reveal another list of folders.
There may be one or more, the one you need is called BlackBerry:


6) Continuing the same way, navigate to the dictionaries 5.0 folder by entering, in order, the "Dictionaries" and the "5.0" folders, until you reach the contents of folder "/public/BlackBerry/Dictionaries/5.0":

As you can see the various dictionaries are placed in separate folders. You can download the ones you are interested, one by one, by entering the according folders and downloading the files from there to the media card of your BlackBerry. Let us say you want to download the contents of the Bouvier's law dictionary (the first in the list).

7) Select and click "Bouvier-Dictionary" folder to enter it and see its contents:

Every dictionary is represented by three or more files and they all need to be downloaded, one after another.

8) Select and click the first file in the list to download it. BeFTP comes up with a screen inviting you to select a target folder where the file will be saved.
This is a crucial step as BEIKS Dictionary Reader expects dictionaries to be located in a certain folder on the media card!


9) BEIKS Dictionary Reader 5.0 expects to find dictionaries in the "/BlackBerry/BEIKS/Dictionaries/" folder or some of its sub-folders on the media card.
Doing the same as before, select and open "SDCard" and then "BlackBerry".
Then if the "BEIKS" folder does not exist, press the menu of your BlackBerry and select "New folder", create the new folder "BEIKS" and open it.
Do the same with the subfolder named "Dictionaries" and you should get this screen:

 

10) Hit the menu button and choose "Download here..." from it:


BeFTP should display the download size progress in the status bar of your BlackBerry.
We recommend that you do not use the device until the download is complete.

Upon download completion, BeFTP will display a message.

Do the same with the second and third files and you are done downloading this dictionary!

Notes:
- You may download all files for the different dictionaries within the same folder on the card or you may create sub-folders in it, like they are created on the BEIKS FTP server; BEIKS Dictionary Reader will find them either way, as long as they are inside the dedicated folder for storing BEIKS Dictionary files.
- This version of BeFTP does NOT allow download resumes; if a download was broken for whatever reason, you will need to overwrite the file and download it from the beginning.
