ftp_raw() command not understood

[markjoe]

I had a BAT file reading in and ftp script to "mget" some files by ftp.

I am replacing this with a CLI PHP script to eliminate user interaction (changing date to match in file name), and make it more flexible.

Trouble: everything I try in ftp_raw() returns "command not understood".

 

$curdate3digit is returning the correct value.

 

$ftpc=ftp_connect("123.45.67.89");
$ftpl=ftp_login($ftpc, "username", "Pass");
if($ftpl){
$ftpout[]=ftp_raw($ftpc, 'lcd D:/);
$ftpout[]=ftp_raw($ftpc, 'prompt off');
$ftpout[]=ftp_raw($ftpc, 'bin');
$ftpout[]=ftp_raw($ftpc, 'cd /remote/dir/togetfrom');
$ftpout[]=ftp_raw($ftpc, "mget $curdate3digit*.sch");
}else{
echo "ftp login failed\n";
}
ftp_close($ftpc);
