FTP Error

I am using an on-rev server. I request the contents of the public_html directory  (FTP) - and I get it.  I now have a list of directories inside of my public_html folder. (strA)

That list is put inside of a scrolling field - and I allow the user to choose a directory. (strB)

I use that request to make another list of the FILES inside of that directory. (Use FTP)  And that works. (That list is put inside of a scrolling field.)

The user is now looking at a list of FILES. The idea is that when the user chooses a file, it will then be downloaded to his/her computer. (strC)

I put together a path to that file name by using pieces from above. strA&"/"&strB&"/"&strC - and let's call it strFINAL

When I use libURLDownloadToFile with the correct parameters it returns "error" - without much else.

When I simply PUT the URL strFINAL into a location on my computer it returns "Can't open /public_html/strA/strB_/Media/strC_" - no such file or directory.

BUT PLEASE NOTICE that somewhere along the line underscores were added at the end of individual parts of my path. I THINK that is my problem. I evaluate the string inside of LC and I do NOT see the underscores, but when the error is returned, the underscores are there.

1) I do not know if the underscores are the problem, but could they be?

2) Any other reason this might not be working?


Thank you!  I will hang up now and listen to your answers and suggestions!
As always, many, many thanks in advance.
