It seems that the problem is that the p is exchanged to _ and I can't figure out why.<BR />I also tried to do the same thing to another LAN external site and the same thing happens.<BR />Here's the commands I execute:<BR /><BR />ftp&gt; dir<BR />200 Port command successful.<BR />150 Opening data connection for directory list.<BR />-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 6 Feb 24 15:11 aa.aa_<BR />-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 81437601 Jan 24 11:40 DB_COMDUNS_200501.zip<BR />-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1080442 Jan 24 11:50 DB_NOVOS_200501.zip<BR />-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 43326849 Jan 31 11:52 DB_REMANESCENTE_200501.zip<BR />-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 14468016 Jan 25 15:06 DB_SEMDUNS_200501.zip<BR />226 Transfer ok<BR />ftp&gt; get DB_COMDUNS_200501.zip<BR />200 Port command successful.<BR />550 'DB_COMDUNS_200501.zi_' : No Such File.<BR />ftp&gt; mget *<BR />mget aa.aa_? n<BR />mget DB_COMDUNS_200501.zip? y<BR />200 Port command successful.<BR />550 'DB_COMDUNS_200501.zi_' : No Such File.<BR />mget DB_NOVOS_200501.zip? n<BR />mget DB_REMANESCENTE_200501.zip? n<BR />mget DB_SEMDUNS_200501.zip? n<BR />ftp&gt;<BR /><BR />Really I don't know what to think about this...<BR />Maybe someone can help.<BR />Thanks in advance.<BR /><BR />SN<BR /> Thu, 24 Feb 2005 10:56:03 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-problem/m-p/3492846#M845283 Starrynight 2005-02-24T10:56:03Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-problem/m-p/3492847#M845284 ftp may experience problems if there are any special chars in the file name.
