Help With FTP

[AidenMc]

Hi all,
I am having a problem trying to download a file from a specfic ftp address via visual foxpro ( Ver 6 ).
I am using FtpGetFile.
I have no problem connecting to the ftp site, it's just when I connect I am at the root and the file I need lies in a dir /usr6/customs/manifest and no matter what way I call the function FtpGetFile, it cannot download the file.
I have search through the FAQ's and found some helpfull tips etc... but I can't get this to work.
Has anyone every got this before and if so how did you resolve it
thanks in advance

Aiden

Here is what I use. The path to our FTP server is:
<root>/cdr

lcRemotePath  = ALLTRIM(this.origpath ) && "/cdr/"
	lcLocalPath  = "C:\temp\"
	Dimension arr [1, 5]
	nfiles = This.remoteDir2array (hFtpSession, lcRemotePath, lcMask, @arr)
	nHowMany  =ALEN(arr,1)
	Store 0 To This.nRemoteItemCount
	Store 0 To nDirCount
	For ii = 1 To nHowMany
		If arr[ii, 3] = .F.  &&... fileType = .T., File, else Dir
			This.nRemoteItemCount = This.nRemoteItemCount + 1
			Store '' To cTmpStr
			cTmpStr = '<' + arr [ii, 5] + '>'    &&... name
			nDirCount = nDirCount + 1
		Endif
	Endfor
