[comp.sys.sgi] 4DDN/DECnet , binary file transfer

SERRER@nrcm3.nrc.ca (Martin Serrer - Systems Manager) (12/12/89)

Hello all,
  Simple problem.
 I have a binary file on a VAX, VMS 5.1b (full specification follows) that I
wish to copy to my IRIS 4D50/GT, IRIX 3.2  using DECnet. I have installed 4DDN
right out of the box. I am getting the following error message as a result of
the copy attempt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%COPY-E-WRITEERR, error writing THOR"serrer password"::/usr/people/serrer/plot.d
at
-RMS-F-RSZ, invalid record size
%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, CROW$USER1:[SERRER.PROJECTS.MEDYNA]PLOT.DAT;1 not completely c
opied
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Are there any 4DDN parameters etc. that I should be tweaking?? or am I
attempting the impossible??
                                Thanx in advance
                                        Martin     SERRER@SYSLAB.NRC.CA
