Lodown datasus problem

[marceloprudente]

Hi,

Im trying to download datasus files with lodown, but the program gives me this error message:

"building catalog for datasus Error in value[3L] : while creating directory C:\ftp:\ftp.datasus.gov.br\para o diretório de nível superior< cannot create dir 'C:\ftp:\ftp.datasus.gov.br', reason 'Invalid argument'"

There is any solution? Thanks in advance

Can you provide the code and full output? Also, what OS are you using?

I'm using Windows 10. This is the code and the full output: `lodown("datasus", output_dir = "C:/DATASUS/") building catalog for datasus

Error in value[3L] : while creating directory C:\ftp:\ftp.datasus.gov.br\para o diretório de nível superior< cannot create dir 'C:\ftp:\ftp.datasus.gov.br', reason 'Invalid argument`

If I traceback return this:

traceback() 6: stop("while creating directory ", this_dir, "\n", conditionMessage(w)) 5: value[[3L]](cond) 4: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]]) 3: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers) 2: tryCatch({ dir.create(this_dir, recursive = TRUE, showWarnings = TRUE) }, warning = function(w) stop("while creating directory ", this_dir, "\n", conditionMessage(w))) 1: lodown("datasus", output_dir = file.path(path.expand("~"), "DATASUS"))

sorry the website datasus.gov.br is not accessible outside of brazil so i'm not supporting it. thanks

@ajdamico , I guess you should drop https://github.com/ajdamico/lodown/blob/master/R/mtps.R for the same reason.

Is there anything I can do to help? Brazilian data is very hard to come by in friendly formats and your package has been a huge help.

Um grande abraço, Roberto.

I'd say try sending Datasus people a message, requesting access for foreign connections. I tried a few months ago, but to no avail.
