Can you post a log file for "get *.zip"? thanks.

Hi Martin,

This is the message when trying to get test.zip:
Host has not answered for 60 seconds.
Wait for another 60 seconds? Pressing 'Abort' button will close session.
(A)bort, (R)etry: Abort
Copying files from remote side failed.

There is no space at the beginning of the filename.

This did work:
GET *test.zip d:\paul_test\


Here is output from the log after I change into the download directory:

Thanks for any help you can provide.

What is an error message? Isn't there some space at the beginning of the filename? What if you do "get *test.zip"?

This is frustrating me...

The following command does not work:
get test.zip d:\paul_test\

The following command does work:
get *.zip d:\paul_test\

test.zip is there and it is spelled correctly, here is the output of ls:
drwxrwx--- 2 me me 512 Apr 27 8:42 .
drwxr-x--- 5 me me 512 Mar 13 13:23 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 8737 Apr 27 7:41 test.zip

Using version 3.7.6 Build 306.

I have poured over this forum for hours and have not found this in the documentation/FAQs.
