mget FTP Error 500

Hi,

Below is my code, any reason Error 500 is popping up?

% Initial FTP Info
username = 'anonymous';
password = '[e-mail]';
host = 'prism.nacse.org';

f = ftp(host,username,password);
xx = mget(f,'/daily/ppt/1981/PRISM_ppt_stable_4kmD1_20140114_bil.zip');

If I "cd" to the exact folder where the file is located and use mget(f,filename) the same error appears.

Thanks guys!

I'm getting the same issue when following the example from the mget help file .

 ngdc = ftp('ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov');
 mget(ngdc, 'README.txt');
 close(ngdc)

Which results in the following error

 Error using ftp/mget (line 109)
 FTP error: 500.

Is this a bug with mget? Are others able to get matlab FTP functions to work properly?

P.S. I'm on MATLAB R2017a

It looks like a bug to me. I finally used "urlwrite" function and it works fine for me. I'm using MATLAB R2017a.

Something like this:

LocalFilePath = urlwrite('ftp://someaddress.org:8811/dong/retrograde/image.tif', 'image.tif');
