Hello @rahul.deshmukh,

I don't have DSE+ credentials so unable to directly check your curl command, but something does not look correct. You should be getting an (S)FTP response to the (s)ftp request and not an embedded HTML as shown. Is your proxy server causing this.

Can you try to use WinScp to login to sftp://plus.datascope.refinitiv.com with your credentials and see if that works.

it got solved now ...

  1. Restricted user logged in. is just warning ...i used wget in linux machine to download the files..Below is my command:
  2. wget --user user--password password --recursive ftp://plus.datascope.refinitiv.com/Bulk_Reports/

But again my problem is as i am working in windows and may be want to use curl command instead of wget ...do you know how it works with curl command ?

curl is a generic network tool rather then a ftp transfer tool. In Windows machine, you can use sftp.exe or WinScp.

Also, since the secure format is supported, I would highly discourage the use of ftp protocol - use sftp instead.
