Hi Tim, I did a test using v16r4 beta and it worked OK with the long filename. So that's good :) I did notice however that although I passed the 1 parameter in FTP_Receive
fr_err:=*FTP_Receive* (vFTP_ID;fr_tImageToGet;fr_tImageSavePath;1) ... it did NOT display a progress message, even when I used a bogus filename to make it wait 30 seconds before timing out. Bug?
