Android Question FTP.DownloadFile

[Ralf Schappo]

Hello

I use this to download a file from the ftp server
DownloadFile("/somefolder/files/1.zip", False, File.DirRootExternal, "1.zip")
I wane replace the "/somefolder/" part with a input from a edittext1.text
I tried FTP.DownloadFile("/" & edittext1.text & "/files/1.zip", False, File.DirRootExternal, "1.zip")
and that wont work, how can I get this done?

thanks

Why this should not work?

Upload a sample project which shows the issue.

Do you get any error?

Sub Button2_Click
    If Button2.Text="Save" Then
        File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "Master.txt", EditText1.text)
        File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "Group.txt", EditText3.text)
    End If
   
    If Button2.Text="ASK" Then
    Dim ftp As FTP
   
    ftp.PassiveMode=True
    ftp.DownloadFile("/" & EditText3.text & "/0.txt", False, File.DirRootExternal, "0.txt")"
   
    ftp.Close
    End If
   
End Sub

the error is a syntax - Fehler

Post the FULL error message.
Check the line which is marked red

 

[DonManfred]

ftp.DownloadFile("/" & EditText3.text & "/0.txt", False, File.DirRootExternal, "0.txt")"

Remove the last "

das " nach EditText3.text muss auch weg. Man, check doch mal die Syntax richtig!
