Has the MATLAB 'mget' function changed from versions R2020a to R2024a?

I ask this question becasue i have a script that runs perfectly well in the 2020 version using mget. Once i upgraded to 2024 the mget function started to run into issues and now i get an error every time i use it. Can i get some guidance on how to fix this?

If there were changes, they weren't big enough to be included in the version history (see here).If you are seeing unexpected or changed hehavior, I recommend contacting support.

Hi @Gavin

The following are the documentation links of "mget()" function from 2020b and 2024a:

2020b: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020b/matlab/ref/ftp.mget.html?searchHighlight=mget&s_tid=doc_srchtitle

2024a: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.io.sftp.sftp.mget.html#d126e1034895

No implementation changes have been made, and the major difference I found was that "mget()" now accepts SFTP objects too. From the look of it, there is no regression/limitations since r2020b.

Getting the exact error here might help. Also, ensure that all required permissions are granted for "mget()" to work the way it should.

If "mget()" behaves differently on r2020 and r2024a at the same time, I suggest you to reach out to MathWorks Technical Support:

The error i get is the following:

"

Error using matlab.io.ftp.internal.matlab.mget

File "TESTFILE.TXT" not found on server.

Error in matlab.io.FTP/mget>recursiveDownload (line 114)

matlab.io.ftp.internal.matlab.mget(obj.Connection, options);

Error in matlab.io.FTP/mget (line 72)

location = cellstr(recursiveDownload(obj, dirStruct, fullRemoteDirPath, ...

Error in Function_Name (line 24)

mget(ftpobj,'TESTFILE.TXT');

"

This is strange because this text file does exist on the server and you can view it in ftpobj. It also does pull this text file successfully on the 2020 version.

Kindly contact support in this case
