Question:

"426 Data connection: broken pipe" Is what happens when I try to ftpget a file. I have no problem through Netscape and other programs. I'm using the Binary transfer type, when I try ASCII WinBatch stops responding.

Answer:

In the FTPGet statement, make sure the third parameter is a file and not just a directory, as in:

rs=FtpGet(hSession, "/pub/cm95-10.zip", "c:\temp\test.zip", "B")

If you specify a directory only, you will get the error 426.

If you have a proxy server, you might also get this error message.
