OK, you're getting nowhere fast. I don't see the file sizes being created as
anything but 0. So here are a few questions:
 1. Can you create a file in any of these directories yourself?
 2. Is this a local or network drive?
 3. Does it work better if you create a new, local directory to download into?
 4. What if you used http instead of ftp?
