I am trying to download a file from a VMS host using this command line:
"E:\Program Files\CoreFTP\coreftp.exe" -d -site MMS_Alpha SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000.PCCOMMON]FORMS_DATA.csv -p "E:\MMS CIS\Backup" -o
and can't get it to work. Naturally, it works OK from within the CoreFTP program.
What am I missing?
Command Line with VMS
Thanks for your reply. Here is the log (it looks like I've made a little progress using your suggestion, but not quite there yet)

Still not right...
OK. DEC VMS CAN'T use passive. IT MUST BE DISABLED.
The process of downloading a file works WITHOUT problems doing it manually through CoreFTP. The problem seems to be getting it to work with the command line. It worked with another FTP client, but I wanted to use CoreFTP on this installation.
