Ionic 2 FileTransfer.download showing error code 1

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1 
 let fileTransfer = new Transfer();
      fileTransfer.download("http://my.server.com/download?path=filelocationWithDifferentName, cordova.file.externalDataDirectory + ActualFileName).then((entry) => {

        this.showToast("Download Completed");
        this.openReport(file);

      }, (error) => {

        const alertFailure = this.alertCtrl.create({
          title: `Download Failed!`,
          subTitle: `${file} was not successfully downloaded. Error code: ${error.code}`,
          buttons: ['Ok']
        });

        alertFailure.present();

      });

    });

Error code 1 means that it couldn’t find the file:

The docs tell you how to use the Transfer plugin. It does not include instantiating Transfer objects with new.

Is he using Ionic Native? Maybe he is just winging it with the plugin directly. ALthough, then he should probably switch to Ionic Native!
