I want to transfer large amounts of files from VMS/VAX to HP-UX and there's an Ultirx machine which talks to both. Do you know of an easy way of doing this? Mail is not good for lots of files, the VAX doesn't have FTP or Telnet, the Ultrix box has the "d*" (eg. dcp, dlogin, etc) programs but that only allows us to copy from DecNet to Ultrix. So it takes two steps, we then have to rcp from the Ultrix to the HP-UX. Do you know if there is a one step process? I don't read this news group so please reply by e-mail if you know of a *simple* solution.

On the ULTRIX machine install the DECnet-Internet Gateway subsets which comes with your DECnet-ULTRIX kit. Then you % ftp ultrix-machine-name Username: vmsmachine-name::username Password for vmsmachine::username: ftp> get .... ftp> put .... ftp> ls .... ftp> dir .... to transfer binary files make sure to give the ftp "binary" command. From the VMS side you can: $ copy ultrix-machine-name"hp-name!username password::"...." ... Binary file transfers have to be initiated from the ftp side because VMS COPY command will only ask for ascii mode transfer, unless you have VMS V5.1 or later, then you can use: $ EXCHANGE/NETWORK/TRANSFER_MODE=BLOCK /--------------------------------------------------------------\ |Jeff Michaud michaud@decwrl.dec.com michaud@decvax.dec.com| |DECnet-ULTRIX #include <standard/disclaimer.h> | \--------------------------------------------------------------/
