Error Message:

application : not a plain file.text

Explanation:

Using the Ftp command, you attempted to retrieve the file named in the message, but the file is either a directory or a special device. The file must be readable and in either ASCII, TXT, or Binary format.

User Action:

Verify the name of the file you want to retrieve and retry the Ftp command, using that name. If you continue to get this message, check the permission on the file in questions and verify its format.
