Hi Daniel, 

Many thanks for your reply. The url I am using should be correct as I can rename the file successfully. 

Additionally, I am successsful in downloading a file having the same user id as my log in. 
The issue is with files which user id is not the same as my login (eventhough having the same user group).

I put here some more info. Hope this helps. By the way, is there a way to get more debug logging (beside -v & -trace) ?
Thanks in advance.
