The FTP server is running on windows 7 and the anti virus running should be BitDefender (to be confirmed). No proxy is configured on the buildmaster

Hi @rhessinger,
Thanks for the feedback.
I can assure you that permission is not an issue because using the same credentials i can manually download same files/folders from the FTP server.
Like i mentioned earlier, I strongly think the issue is being caused by '\' being added infront of folder names. Please can you check why it is happening? Because I think it is not a normal.

Concerning the phrase "I would also check that your Get-Files operation is not happening until after the files have been put on the FTP server." i don't quite understand. Maybe you can explain again what you are expecting from my side.

Hello @rhessinger, when i try ServerPath = Folder and Include = * it does not download any files instead it download all subdirectories (with none of their contents) adding a '\' prefix to the name. Eventually we get something like below on the server running the script:
\Subfolder1
\Subfolder2
\Subfolder3

When I keep ServerPath=Folder and change Include to ** we still have the same outcome as above except that this time there is error in the log saying network name is no longer available.

The second method seems to be what i need but it is failing and i think it is due to the '\' being added infront of folder names created

@rhessinger I am looking for something different from what you suggested. Consider for example we have the below folder structure:
Folder
Folder/Subfolder1/file1
Folder/Subfolder1/file2
Folder/Subfolder2/file3
Folder/Subfolder3/file4.

What I am looking for is to download Folder with its sub directories irrespective of their names and contents (I might not even know what is in it).

Hello guys, is it possible to download folders (instead of files) using FTP plugin? If so how can this be done please?

Hello @rhessinger,
It is working fine now, error no longer appears and it is downloading the needed files.
Thank you for the support.
So what's next, will you make this FTP build an official release?

Hello @rhessinger I have adjusted date format on the machine running buildmaster from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yy, yet issue is still there.
Timezone on buildmaster machine is UTC+01:00 West central Africa. I don't have access to the computer running the FTP service.

Hi @rhessinger ,
Buildmaster is running on windows 10 and the FTP is running on windows 7. How can we check the culture you are talking about and how to change if possible.

Hello @rhessinger
I managed to install it by update the feedurl.
I tried again with this version and the error now contains some information, see below screenshot.

Hi @rhessinger,
I followed the steps mentioned but still cannot find this new version installed in the list of extensions. So i have not been able to install it.

@rhessinger FTP extension version: 1.0.0
Buildmaster version: 6.2.17

By the way, I tried simulating using below code which from the source code it should be the same thing buildmaster is trying to do.

The code could run successfully without issues.

@atripp Hi, that's the thing. I don't see the data which the FTP extension is getting and rejecting. I tried to do a tcpdump but couldn't find anything useful. When check the listing manually on the FTP server, we have the below:

The date format there will be MM-DD-YY. Could this be the problem?

Can someone help please
