Dani,

I was able to download the CNES data from the ftp, but when I try to read it in R it appears to have something wrong. When I try to use the funciont read.dbc the following error shows up: "Error in dbc2dbf(file, out) : error decompressing file: 2". Do you have any idea of why this error shows up?

Thanks, Guilherme Carvalho

This usually happens when your downloaded file is corrupted. Make sure you are downloading it in binary mode and try again.

Thank you for your help. I was able to solve the problem adding mode = "wb" in the download.file function.
