Aloha, Dave,

OK, I checked permissions:

 rwx-rw -r

So, anyone can read the file.

 What's more... I can open an FTP client,
(I am using oXigen now on OSX ... really fast)

Enter

the same HOST, USER, PASS and PATH and download the file, no problem.

But, if I try that in Rev... I get the same message:

error  550 /Public/Sheela/New-Not Yet
Posted/9-19-02_Mauritius_Trip_Talks.txt: not a plain file.
so at this point it would definitely appear to be a libURL problem... "but wait... there's more!"

test: If I change the server to our ISP's host server in Honolulu (SPARC Solaris) and run the same scripts... it works... the same script which is failing to fetch a file from our server in the other room over the LAN (OSXServe running on a G4 with FTP enabled) will download a file from Honolulu... both files are simple text files, both have the same permissions.

So an FTP client can download from our server but libURL can't. Other operations... get directory listings, upload, RNFR RNTO etc. all work fine.

Can I do anything to log events to give you a more detailed look into exactly what is failing?

Thanks for your cheerful help!

"it" is empty and result:

now, these files are files that are generated and uploaded by a Rev
app I created which is in use by someone in Chennai (Madras)
India... and they definitely *are* plain text files... ??
550 means the action wasn't taken for some reason. "not a plain file" is a generic message sent by a some servers, and seems to cover a variety of issues. I'd check the permissions on the file and see if everyone has read permission. Use LIST instead of NLST to get a listing with all the permission details.

Cheers
Dave
