Hi,
I’ve seen a couple of examples using the Erlang FTP client from Elixir and I have succesfully stepped through an example but now I’m stuck.
I keep getting an {:error, :epath} error although the file is there.

ftp_target_directory = ftp_target_directory |> String.to_charlist
ftp_host = Config.get(:importer, :ftp_host) |> String.to_charlist
ftp_user = Config.get(:importer, :ftp_user) |> String.to_charlist
ftp_pass = Config.get(:importer, :ftp_pass) |> String.to_charlist

Logger.info("Downloading files from #{inspect ftp_host} to #{inspect ftp_target_directory}")

:application.start :inets 
{:ok, pid} = :inets.start(:ftpc, host: ftp_host)
:ftp.user(pid, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
:ftp.pwd(pid)
:ftp.lcd(pid, ftp_target_directory)
:ftp.type(pid, :binary)
directory_list = get_listing(pid)
Enum.each(directory_list, fn directory ->
    :ftp.cd(pid, directory)
    files = get_listing(pid)
    Enum.each(files, fn file ->
      Logger.info("Downloading #{inspect file}")
      status = :ftp.recv(pid, file)
      Logger.info("Status #{inspect status}")
    end) 
    :ftp.cd(pid, '..')
end)
end

defp get_listing(pid) do
   {:ok, listing} = :ftp.nlist(pid)
   listing = listing |> String.Chars.List.to_string |> String.split("\r\n", trim: true)
   Enum.map(listing, fn item -> String.to_char_list(item) end)
end

I’ve put the client in verbose mode but I can’t see the client actually requesting the file, all I get is the error above.
I’m using the bitwalker/alpine-erlang:6.1 with elixir 1.4.

iex(testdownload@127.0.0.1)6> {:ok, pid} = :inets.start(:ftpc, host: ftp_host, verbose: true)

{:ok, ‘file.csv\r\n’}
iex(testdownload@127.0.0.1)12> :ftp.recv(pid, ‘file.csv’)

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
