MediaPortal seems unable to download files from ftp shares.
Tested with 0.2.0.0 final and SVN-Build Rev.10289

1. configured FTP share
Attachment 150
2. started MediaPortal
3. go to MyMusic
4. open ftp share -> all folders displayed
5. open one folder -> all mp3 files displayed
6. click one mp3 file -> Do you want to download to local folder? -> Yes
7. nothing happens -> local folder for ftp stays empty

This is the log of the ftp server:

it seems like MediaPortal isnt even trying to download the file.
at the momet i try to download the file with MediaPortal, it is closing the connection to the ftp server.
NO error message displayed or in the log.

***EDIT***
It seems that this is only occuring if the FTP-Server is located in the LAN.
I tried to add one of my webserver ftp's as share and this worked without any issues.

On the local FTP-Server it is possible to copy files with an ftp-client (so the server works).
If i manually add the file i want to download from the ftp share to the local ftp folder, MP is displaying this file as downloaded when browsing ftp share.
playing this file works then too.

so only downloading files from local ftp servers with MediaPortal seem to be broken.

**note by infinityloop**
ronilse tried to connect to my ftp server. running Blackmoon on Server2003.

in the server log i get the following when he is trying to download the file

3 Things are interesting:

1. if i try to download the file localy, MediaPortal is closing the ftp connection to the server when trying to download and no error was logged or displayed.
   
   when ronilse tried to download, the conection was not closed and an error was shown.
2. downloading the file via browser worked without issues.
3. MediaPortal is able to brows all folders, only downloading fails.

Description 501:
Syntax error in parameters or arguments. This may include errors such as command line too long.
