As far as the FTP server (any FTP server) is concerned, they do not even see the local file name parameter. The FTP clients use it to save the retrieved contents. So, from a command prompt, if you do "get file1.txt myfile1.txt", the FTP client sends "RETR file1.txt" to the FTP server. When you type "get file1.txt", then also the same "RETR file1.txt" is sent to the server. Both logs you sent are showing a successful transfer. So, I think your issue has nothing to do with what your GET command is, but something else is going on.
One possible issue is if you are running the FTP client on Windows, one cannot create file names with special characters like colons. I see that you are using the full JMS ID header including the "ID:". May be you should try coding so that the clients do not have to type "ID:", but the server code will prepend the message requests with "ID:". Just thinking out loud here! Sai.
