ftp_get() Help

I'm trying to download a text file named KLAX.TXT at

tgftp.nws.noaa.gov

using

if (ftp_get($conn_id, "Metar Reports/$local_file", $server_file,
FTP_BINARY))
{
print "Success";
}

But I keep gettning this err msg:

Warning: ftp_get(): /data/observations/metar/stations/: not a plain
file.

I don't understand the msg as the file *is* a text file.

You can go here with your browser and see it's a text file.

ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observ...etar/stations/

it seem that you do'nt adress KLAX.txt but the directory listing .....
perhaps your var $server_fiel does not contain what you expect ....
