Well, I can tell you this - its from one of the older messages from here
this is supposed to work
make a file containing this
        OPEN lampwick.berkeley.edu
        CD /pub
        BINARY
        GET nh30exe.zip
        GET nh30sup.zip
        GET README

and then send it to BITFTP@PUCC or if you have ftp access just ftp
straigt to lampwick.berkeley.edu, the
bitftp does work, but I got the files back in netdata format, and now
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, when i receive them, and then
download them, they turn into trash at somepoint...

Any one know what I'm doing wrong??

Thanx

Instead of using ANALYZE/RMS/FDL, EDITing the .FDL file and CONVERT/FDL,
a much easier way of doing things is to use the FILE program available from
various VMSSERVs.

For those who have FILE, just do a FILE/ATTRIBUTE=NOIMPLIED filename.fileext.
This will change the record attribute of files received with RECE/BIN to NONE,
so that they can be downloaded properly.

P.S.    With regard to downloading binary files from VMS to PC,
        KERMIT works fine if you do a SET FILE TYPE BINARY in KERMIT
        before you begin your downloading. - Raymond.
