FTP Get File.vi is returning an error

[edp]

I'm MANUALLY able to get a file from an ftp server. From the same machine, when using LabVIEW's internet kit, FTP Get File. VI it returns an error (error code 66): "TCP Read in TCP Read xTP Reply.vi:4->FTP Get Command Reply.vi:3->FTP Data Receive.vi->FTP [RETR].vi->FTP Retrieve Multiple.vi->FTP Get Multiple Files and Buffers.vi->FTP Get File.vi"

I have set the VI properties as follow:

BINARY  True

Active    False

Furthermore, I see an error in the "file error":  Open File, error code 1059

Can someone please help?

Hi,

Where you able to run the FTP Browser.vi from the examples?

Here is a thread discussing the same error using ftp, it might help:

Maybe the problem is not with FTP, but rather the name or location of the target file. The filename may not be acceptable on your platform, or the location might be a folder with permissions or quota limitations...

A search for Error 1059 on this forum returned this message which may be of help...
