I have a problem trying to use the FtpFileDateTime command.

my program looks like this:
dim list, string, ""

ftpfiledatetime ("uwpfs-user1.fbi.gov", &
"usernamehere", "passwordhere", & "data/Shared/Reports/other/crime/software/Report.txt", list)

mesagebox list

ERROR:
Line 8: File "data/Shared/Reports/other/crime/software/Report.txt" not found. The server has returned an extended error: 200 TYPE Command OK A

200 PORT Command OK

550 No Such Directory "/data/shared/reports/data/shared/reports/other/crime/software/report.txt".

^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
---------------------------
OK

Look at the No such directory. It is repeating the first three subdirectories. data/shared/reports is repeated twice.

On this one if I put a leading / in front of the path it is happy. and does not attempt to put the first three path in front of the directories as reported.

In all FTP commands you should enter the full file path, not just the path relative to the current directory. Because it is a full path in Unix it must start with /
