Tried, it did not help.

That would perhaps work (only there's no wget under win xp).

I did not install anything "third-partied", I thought 'ftp'-object is either
a part of Octave itself, or Octave forge, since the files are located in
C:address@hidden

Function urlwrite does work, though requires username and pass to be
incorporated in url. Thanks for the advice. But what of a mget?

>> fp
FTP Object
 host: [cut]
 user: ccs
  dir: /gpfs/ccs/greg/test
 mode: ascii

>> dir(fp)
-rw-r--r--    1 201      201             6 Mar 13 10:18 sample.txt

>> mget(fp, "sample.txt")
error: __ftp_mget__: file not found
error: called from:
error:   C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.2\share\

So, the file is there, the listing works fine, but no file i've tried is
downloaded (not only mine, and not only the one i've mput-ed). Switching to
another server does not change anything, that readme fails as well.

Very puzzled.
