FTP Node not getting the file

[droidblast]

Trying to grab the latest image(jpg) from a FTP server and cant quite get the flow to work. Can list and sort by date/time and find the image but get this error. Any advice on what I am missing here?

msg : error
"Error: domain.com/Camera: Not a regular file"

Node is node-red-contrib-ftp (node) - Node-RED

I think you cannot specify a folder in the file name. The folder must be specified separately.

Having said that I failed trying to get various FTP nodes to work well, sand changed to using exec nodes and calling the system command directly.

[droidblast]

If I explicitly add this it works but I need it to be the last image filename hence can explicitly put the path, if filename is blank assumes it picks up the msg.payload?

[Colin]

I have no idea, as I said, I gave up the FTP nodes.

Logs into the remote FTP grabs the latest JPG and stores to local.
