Error message: 550 I can only retrieve regular files

I get this error message when I try to publish remote to local using FTP.
Any ideas why?

Have you tried checking the box for Passive FTP when you publish (or
un-checking it if it's checked)?

No, I haven't. I didn't know what "Passive FTP" meant so I avoided it since
it was unchecked by default.

I actually worked around the problem by installing Frontpage Extensions on
the server and sync'ing my site that way instead of by vanilla FTP.

Thanks!

It may be your host's server, not a Frontpage issue. Contact their help
desk, giving the error, and ask them to check the server logs.
