It's not quite that simple. The DirectoryListing DC++ API used to parse the file list requires a User object be created and in order to create a User object, you need a CID in the filename. The filename is required to be in the form [username].[CID].[xml|xml.bz2|DcLst] in order to parse it and create a User object from it. If the filename is not in that form then it will be rejected and the error message you receive will be shown. What is the name of the file you are having issues? It shouldn't matter if the user is online or offline, as long as the filename is in the correct format and the file itself is valid.
