ftp transfer file from main frame to pc

[serena_knight]

i am able to transfer file from the mainframe to the pc using FTP in the command prompt, but i would like

to user the functions in an autoit script, i coded the following

note: for security purpose i will not use the actual items just as user id and password and host id

and file names. 

#include <ftphx.au3>

$hopen = _ftp_open(myftp control")

$hconn = _ftp_connect($hopen, "hostid", "userid", "pass")

; $hconn does return a valid object

$rc = _ftp_fileget($hconn, "'host file'", "pc file",false)

msgbox(0,"","error = " & error & " extended = " & @extended)

problem:  after the execution of the fileget the contents of the file looks like this:

aaaae0000000000000000000000000 and other characters

the file on the mainframe is characters. also when running ftp thru the comman prompt

everything works file,,,please help

just a wild guess: try to change this line from this

$rc = _ftp_fileget($hconn, "'host file'", "pc file",false)

to this

$rc = _ftp_fileget($hconn, "'host file'", "pc file", false, 0, $FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII)
