Error messageDescriptionSolution
Local file '$local_file' exists and may not be overwriten. The local file you specified exists and you did not specify to overwrite it. Set parameter $overwrite = true.
Local file '$file' is not writeable. Can not overwrite. You specified to overwrite the localfile. This did not work. Maybe you don't have the permission to overwrite the file. Check the filepermissions.
File '$remote_file' could not be downloaded to '$local_file'. The download of the remote file failed. This may have several reasons: Maybe the remote file does not exist or the local directory you wanted to download to does not exist or is not writeable.
