AW: AW: ftp_get to IFS

Glenn,

Make sure to be in the correct directory, before you call the GET API. If
you changed the directory after the LIST API and before the GET API, the GET
fails with the error you mentioned.

I had thought that as well.  I've changed the program to try and place the
files in the in the folder /A123456789012345' and not a subdirectory inside
the folder, and it still doesn't work.  I've also tried another folder (my
personal folder called /Glennupload) and it doesn't work.  But the folder
/AD does work.

So, as of now, I can place the files I retrieve with ftp_get in the root
directory /, directory /AD, or the directory specified as my home directory
on my user profile.
