SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
- A computer is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1.
- You try to download a file by using the FTP GET command on this computer.
- You specify the destination drive and the directory in the FTP GET command.
- The destination drive that you specify is a different drive than the drive from which you run the FTP GET command.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
Rename Temp File calloc:File exists
Note You receive this error message after the file appears to be successfully downloaded.
The temporary file that is created during the download process is deleted. Therefore, you cannot successfully download the file by using the FTP
GET command.

WORKAROUND

LCD command in the FTP session to change the working directory to the destination directory before you run the
GET command. For example, to successfully download the file by using FTP, follow these steps:
- At a command prompt, type ftp URL, and then press ENTER.
URL is the URL of your FTP site. - Type lcd d:\, and then press ENTER.
D:\ is the destination directory where you want to copy the file. - Type get FileName, and then press ENTER.
FileName is the name of the file that you want to download from the FTP site.
