I am trying to download a file with the following : "download.file(url,"DB.zip", "auto", quiet = FALSE, mode = "wb", cacheOK = TRUE)"

But I keep getting an error stating In download.file(url, "DB.zip", "auto", quiet = FALSE, mode = "wb", : InternetOpenUrl failed: '' I've searched countless places and haven't found a valid reason. and everyone says theirs is working

  • Have you simply tried: download.file(url, "DB.zip")? – Kvasir EnDevenir Mar 16 '15 at 21:06
  • What's the url so we can try? – Dominic Comtois Mar 16 '15 at 21:35
  • I have tried that as well and it gives me the same error. @Dominic I would like to but the credentials and data are too sensitive to give away. – Yas91 Mar 16 '15 at 21:40
  • Yikes, that makes it really hard to help... maybe give the most details you can give about it - url is ftp or http? Did you try several other combinations of arguments? – Dominic Comtois Mar 16 '15 at 21:45
  • Yeah I have. I tried it with "wget" and "curl" but those give me a 127 error :"download had nonzero exit status" I am using an ftp url and it is just the ip address with credentials. – Yas91 Mar 16 '15 at 21:49
