-- Can you try with regular ftp client software (Fetch, etc.)? Do you get the same problem?
-- Is any error returned in "the result"? For example:
get url "ftp://username:password@serverAddress/Users/me/Documents/pathToFile”
if the result is not empty then answer the result
-- Try using libUrlSetLogField to record the activity. It may give a hint.
(assuming you have a field named "log")
libUrlSetLogField the long id of field "log"
get url "ftp://username:password@serverAddress/Users/me/Documents/pathToFile”
