FTP Datasocket Error

[STRASS]

I am trying to figure out FTP through datasockets.  I have written a very simple vi (attached) that looks like it would work based on what I have read.  I am trying to FTP from the ni recommended location of ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming/readme.txt[text].  I continue to get an Error 1184 : Datasocket path not found, FTP login incorrect, or no FTP write permission.  I then downloaded an example datasocket ftp vi and recieved the same error.  Any hints?  Could a firewall or something be causing this?

Thanks,

Strass

The problem is that you are trying to read out of a directory that the outside world only has write permissions on.

(which is sorta' why it's called "incoming" )
