I had no trouble whatsoever accessing this file. Here is
the code I used. Windows 7 64-bit OS, IDL 7.1.2.

oUrl = OBJ_NEW('IDLnetUrl', URL_SCHEME='ftp', $
URL_HOST='ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov', $
URL_Port=21, $
URL_USERNAME='anonymous', URL_PASSWORD='', $
URL_PATH='STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/INDICES/KP_AP/2008')
void = oURL -> Get(FILENAME='C:\IDL\test\file_2008')

The file was retrieved nearly instantaneously.

I've gotten this CCurlException error quite a bit working
with Google static maps. It is essential that the
directory where the file will be saved actually
exists and is writeable when the Get method is
called. In my case, the problem has almost always been
writing to a particular directory. I always give it
an absolute file name, but I'm not sure if that is
a learned behavior or not. :-)

Cheers,

David
