MGET Problem
Hello friends..

I'm new here ate the forum. I came across with it when trying to find a solution for a problem I have and I hope you can help me.

I'm an Abap programmer, and I have to make a program in ABAP to copy files from a server to the local computer defined path using FTP commands.

I was looking at these commands and I sucessfuly managed to copy ONE file from the server (FTP) to the local machine using:

Code:
get get <source_filename> <destination_path_&_filename>

But as I want to copy several files, I tried the following:

Code:
mget * <destination_path>

the execution says that all went well as u can see below

Code:
mget * d:\RJM\                                                               
200 PORT command successful                                                  
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for 1_NG_NG20100101.dat (2323 bytes)  
226 Transfer complete                                                        
2323 bytes received in 0.00 seconds (2.27 Kbytes/s)                          
200 PORT command successful

226 Transfer complete

226 Transfer complete                                                        
8295 bytes received in 0.17 seconds (47.10 Kbytes/s)

but when I go to the destination path, there are no files there...

Best regards,

trace-cmd-listen

TRACE-CMD-LISTEN(1)													       TRACE-CMD-LISTEN(1)

NAME

       trace-cmd-listen - listen for incoming connection to record tracing.

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd listen -p port [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) listen sets up a port to listen to waiting for connections from other hosts that run trace-cmd-record(1) with the -N
       option. When a connection is made, and the remote host sends data, it will create a file called trace.HOST:PORT.dat. Where HOST is the name
       of the remote host, and PORT is the port that the remote host used to connect with.

OPTIONS

       -p port
	   This option will specify the port to listen to.

       -D
	   This options causes trace-cmd listen to go into a daemon mode and run in the background.

       -d dir
	   This option specifies a directory to write the data files into.

       -o filename
	   This option overrides the default trace in the trace.HOST:PORT.dat that is created when a remote host connects.

       -l filename
	   This option writes the output messages to a log file instead of standard output.

SEE ALSO

       trace-cmd(1), trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-report(1), trace-cmd-start(1), trace-cmd-stop(1), trace-cmd-extract(1), trace-cmd-reset(1),
       trace-cmd-split(1), trace-cmd-list(1)
