FileTransfer Download problem Not_Found_Err

[Roger]

Hi,
am downloading a file from asp.net application as a stream to an icenium app using the following:
var ft = new FileTransfer();
           var uri = encodeURI('http://someserver/MobileSvc/attachment?id=EBE704C0-23B1-4E3F-9E9B-214A8BBD3320&recordID=1&appointmentID=22'); 
           ft.download(
               uri,
               'Document.pdf',
               function(entry){
                   alert('download complete: ' + entry.fullPath);
               },
               function(error){
                   var msg = 'download error source ' + error.source;
                       msg += '\ndownload error target ' + error.target;
                       msg += '\nupload error code ' + error.code;                      
                   alert(msg);
               },
               false
           )
Of course I get an error but it is error=1  or "Not_Found_Err'....so what does this error relate to and why isn't it creating the file? I can use the url in google to get the file data so that exists.
The file is not there to begin with  on Android(do I need to create it first then overwrite it?)
I saw on 1 forum that it was due to android permissions (doubtful as I can create directories) but addedthe line to the manifest file anyway

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

with no change.
I loaded a pdf onto the webserver and can directly view it by entering the address. When I use that same address and try and download I get the same old error?????

I have a similar problem. This code works to Android, but not for Windows Phone. Anybody to know which is my error?
Folder_Name = "file://mnt/sdcard/Download";
for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {

download_link = encodeURI(URL + images[i]);
fp = Folder_Name + "/" + images[i];

ftr = new FileTransfer();
ftr.download(download_link, fp, function (entry) {
alert("download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
}, function (error) {
alert('download error: ' + error.code);
alert("download error source " + error.source);
alert("download error target " + error.target);
});

Hello William,

I am afraid you don't have a valid license in order to benefit from our support service, but you can still share and look for solutions among our community in our forum.

As a starting point I would bring your attention to our sample app which works as expected on WP 8 device.
