Right.  You are running a script on the Windows machine which sends FTP
commands to the VMS server.

That script is failing.  It appears that it's failing because it's trying to
copy files to a local directory on the Windows machine that does not exist.
This may not be your only problem.  You need to look at the script on the
Windows side and see what it is doing and then do that same thing by hand.

Don't worry about the VMS side yet, worry about what the Windows side is
doing.  Once you figure THAT out, then look at the VMS machine.

Then why does the get command fail?  Sit down at FTP on the windows machine
and run each command in the script by hand and watch what is going on.
