The correct path/file to download would be "/VERT.qwk".

Looking at my FTP server log, I see TRUCKSTO has been trying download/incorrect different file paths/names:

023-02-19T08:15:18.638944-08:00 git sbbs: ftp  0116 <TRUCKSTO> file (/Main/vert.qwk) not found for RETR command

2023-02-19T08:17:53.733933-08:00 git sbbs: ftp  0116 <TRUCKSTO> file (/trucksto.qwk) not found for RETR command

2/19  07:55:56a  2136 <TRUCKSTO> file (/VERT) not found for RETR command

You didn't mention your QWK-ID, is TRUCKSTO yours? If so, then you need to fix your script.
