theotherplatt on "Filezilla and php.ini"

Hello everyone,

I hope this is not a duplicate and/or I am posting in the wrong place.

I hope someone will be able to help me with this, I am using Filezilla and am trying to download my whole site into my hard drive for backup.

Everything goes smoothly except for one file: php.ini, which in filezilla looks like a folder with an arrow on it. If I click on it to explore it I get the following error message:
"Error: Failed to open "\php.ini" for writing
Error: File transfer failed"

When I try to import it from the remote folder the error is "Could not start transfer".

I am using version 3.7.1.1

I read somewhere that Filezilla3 has issues recognizing certain files and sees them a forlders.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks!
