I have been happily transfering text files from a VAX to a tower for quite a while now using FTP. Today I tried to transfer a binary file (a VMS data file with packed data in it)[note: I did have binary selected]. The resultant file looked extremely strange with extra bytes all over the place. Speaking to a VMS person he seemed to think it looked like the VMS control information had come across to. Obviously if this is true then this isn't very useful on a Tower. Does anyone know of some way I can get either the VAX or the Tower to handle this correctly ? or is it only meant to be used between like machines i.e. VAX to VAX or Tower to Tower ? -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nigel Harwood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Post: Coles Myer Ltd, PO Box 2000 Tooronga 3146, Australia >> << Phone: +61 3 829 6090 E-mail: nigel%cmsfl@labtam.oz.au >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
