Download file from FTP : Error 1059 (Open File)

[dboulay]

I need to download a binary file from cRIO FTP but I get an error 1059 Open file. The extension of the files to be downloaded is .dat .

Attached is a screen shot of my code.

Any ideas how I can solve my problem?

Thanks.

1059 error indicates an unexpected file type.  Most .dat files are text files.  Try setting the binary terminal on the FPT [RETR].vi to be false.

Can you post your vi and an example .dat file?   I'll try this with my cFP.

Hi centerbolt ,

Here attached is the document you requested.

"local path" constant needs to include the target file name.  Won't work without it.
