Warning: ftp_get(): RETR - php

Question

I am using this code:
<?php
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
$local_file = "local.zip";
$server_file = "server.zip";
// download server file
if (ftp_get($ftp_conn, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_ASCII))
{
echo "Successfully written to $local_file.";
}
else
{
echo "Error downloading $server_file.";
}
// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
?>
In order to get a specific file from a server.
I tried also using -
if (ftp_get($ftp_conn, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY))
insted of
if (ftp_get($ftp_conn, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_ASCII))
I kepp getting the error-
Warning: ftp_get(): RETR in myfile.php on line 13.
Please Help.

Shimon, when you send and ftp_get, you're sending an RETR command to the ftp server requesting the desired file. It seems that RETR is disabled on your FTP server. Try to get your file with your favorite FTP client to see if will work an tell us the result here. (Also, check if you have read permissions on that folder)
