ConfigSync::download_configuration() error - Invalid Argument

Hi,

 

 

I'm trying to write C code for ucs file download, but getting runtime error ConfigSync::download_configuration() error - Invalid Argument. Can you please help in fixing my code.

 

 

Of course, code is based on blatant copy of the follwing link:
