Hello I have solved the problem as changing the code. try catch block is as below

ftpClient.connect(server, port);

ftpClient.login(user, pass);

ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();

ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

String[] files = ftpClient.listNames("TEST_FILE");

          for (String aFile: files) {

          String remoteFile1 = aFile;

          File downloadFile1 = new File("C:/test/FTP_TEST

/GET/"+remoteFile1.replace("TEST_FILE", ""));

          OutputStream outputStream1 = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(downloadFile1));

          boolean success = ftpClient.retrieveFile(remoteFile1, outputStream1);

          outputStream1.close();

          if (success) {

              System.out.println("File #1 has been downloaded successfully.");

          }

          }

The slash should be backwards like this: "C:\ \test\ \FTP_TEST\ \GET" (without the middle space, I put it that way because the html parser in this page change it to only one slash) intead of:

ftpClient.retrieveFile("C://test//FTP_TEST//GET" + filename, >fos); 

Or even better:

"C:" + File.separatorChar + "test" + File.separatorChar + "FTP_TEST" + File.separatorChar + "GET"
