No joy on my linux setup either:

IDL> print, !version
{ x86 linux unix linux 8.1 Mar 9 2011 32 64}
IDL> oUrl = OBJ_NEW('IDLnetUrl', URL_SCHEME='ftp', $
IDL> URL_HOST='ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov', $
IDL> URL_Port=21, $
IDL> URL_USERNAME='anonymous', URL_PASSWORD='', $
IDL> URL_PATH='STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/INDICES/KP_AP/2008')
% Loaded DLM: URL.
IDL> downloadLoc = oURL->Get(FILENAME='2008')
% IDLNETURL::GET: CCurlException: Error: Ftp Get Request Failed. Error = RETR response: 425,
Curl Error Code = 19. Last Ftp Response = 425 Failed to establish connection.

Different error.

When I just do the ftp access on the command line everything worked fine.

Maybe it's a unix-related thing. I.e. IDL can't do this properly on a non-windows platform?

cheers,
