Jun 21 '13 at 13:46

Hi,

I try to download file using ftp2 class to a network folder using UNC path and I got this error:

    --openForReadWriteWin32

    Failed.
  --GetFile
--ChilkatLog

This is the code that I use: success = ftps.GetFile(fname, localFilePath.TrimEnd("") & "" & fname)

This is the value of my variables: ?localFilePath.TrimEnd("") & "" & fname

"\ohou02dt01.orion.internalDataTransfersGatewayDemographicToBeProcessedtest.csv"

The folder is there.

Could you help?

Thanks, Tin Nguyen

One thing I can think of.... is this process running with privileges on the network?

For example, a typical Windows Service process can not access the network, you need to set a user/pwd for the service.
