Hi Albert,
The problem was trying to use a wild card for the 3rd component. If I
specify the full filename, then I receive it ok. But the problem is that
the third component is a datetime value, and I have no way of knowing this
unless they tell me in advance, which they don't.
If anyone has any ideas how to handle this situation, I would certainly
appreciate it?

Try quoting the file name anyway, just to see what happens. I have had
"fun" sometimes with file names with multiple "."s in any number of
programs. Never tried with R:Base, though. I am sure my first time will
come soon ...

Bernie, have you quoted the file name?
"this file name"

I am FTPing to downlaod a file with a 3 component name and I get
illegal file name.
Can Win XP handle a 3 component file name?
or is it an R:Base problem as I am launching the ftp from rbase.
Or is it possible thru ftp commands to rename the file before it gets
installed?
