FTP error - "error retrieving file not a regular file"

Are you sure that you are not trying to download a folder?

Hi Erel, am trying to download a zip file - the data in previous post is the serverpath as picked up by the event in below sub


Sub FTP_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
Log(ServerPath & ", Success=" & Success)
If Success = True Then flag1 = True
If Success = False Then
Log(LastException)
End If
End Sub

I can see the file on the ftp server - by using below code which gives a positive including the file I am testing with


Sub FTP_ListCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean, Folders() As FTPEntry, Files() As FTPEntry)
Log("server path " & ServerPath)
If Success = False Then
Log(LastException)
Else
Log("list success is " & Success)
For i = 0 To Folders.Length - 1
Log("list " & Folders(i).Name)
Next
For i = 0 To Files.Length - 1
Log(Files(i).Name & ", " & Files(i).Size & ", " & DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp))
Next
End If
End Sub

Erel, just to add a little more information - I have a couple of apps that include ftp clients and I can retrieve the file manually so the issue does not appear to be with the ftp server / android per se.

Hi Erel you were correct - I was pointing the the folder and not the file

all working now

thank you
