get ./myreallyLONGfilename.txt
or
get /directory/subdirectory/myreallyLONGfilename.txt

both work for me. Because I hate to have to try again, I usually use the
latter form. POSIX filenames require the same POSIX form that you would
use for a LISTFILE on the 3K, signed on to the 3K as the same user that
you are using for ftp. Without more detail, this is my best guess as to
what is going wrong; if this doesn't work for you, feel free to reply.
But get myreallyLONGfilename.txt does not work for me. Happy
connectivity.
