Using v13.5 ...

I'm trying to download some files from a client's FTP site. The files have
quite long names - e.g.:
53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg

So here's some test code:

fr_tImageToGet:=fr_WebDirectory+"53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg"
// returns "/imagecache/53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg"
fr_tImageSavePath:=fr_tImagesToDirectory+"53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg"
// returns "Macintosh
HD:Users:patbensky:Desktop:53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg"
fr_err:=FTP_ChangeDir (vFTP_ID;"/")
fr_err:=FTP_Receive (vFTP_ID;fr_tImageToGet;fr_tImageSavePath;1)

Doesn't download the file and returns an error -1

If I shorten the name of the file - e.g.:
Macintosh HD:Users:patbensky:Desktop:3cac519f-0bff.jpg

It downloads the file, no problem.

I can work around it by downloading with a temporary (short) name and then
renaming it, but why? Are filenames referenced in FTP_Receive limited to 32
characters?

Thanks!

Pat
