I want to write the contents of a file directly onto a device, like you would on say Unix with dd:
dd if=infile of=/dev/outdevice
How do I do this on VMS?
Depending on the nature of the "outdevice", it could be as simple as "COPY infile device:".
If the device is one that is typically mounted, like a disk or tape, then it would have to have its media mounted, perhaps with MOUNT/FOREIGN if you want the raw data written to the device without worrying about any sort of file structure.
What kind of device is "outdevice"?

Wouldn't you rather run V8.3-1H1? Or do you
specifically want V8.3, for comparison or so?

Good points!
As one additional thing to consider, I just remembered that the ftp protocol don't really expect to deal with wildcards. mget and friends actually do a DIR, and then applies the command to every file listed by the initial DIR.
I can't remember if any real wildcarding is allowed at all in ftp. I should know once I've implemented my ftp for RSX. (It's probably a couple of weeks away.)

In ftp, there are separate commands for wildcard operation -- for example "mget" instead of "get" and "mdelete" instead of "rm". That probably accounts for both issues.
It may also be that ; gives trouble because it's a Unix shell character. If so, you could use the TOPS-20 style version delimiter "." -- that works on VMS also.

How do I get rid of those stupid ^'s?
I'd be more worried about where the ".dir;" at the end comes from...?

Sorry if I upset people, just thought I'd give you guys a first pop at this stuff in case someone needed a piece or two of equipment.
I will be posting the auctions on comp.os.vms of course.
Again, no offence was intended and it was not a commercial operation, just a clear out of old stuff.

Please don't. The HECnet list is not a forum for announcing stuff for sale.

Ebay it is - if no one minds, I'll list the listing numbers here once done.

How is the service launched? On Linux (most sane distributions) there
is an rc script who launches the opensshd service. Of course this
depends. All I know about VMS is that it has the staying power of a
herd of elephants.
Which reminds me, why is there a trash can peering into your flat and
taking notes?
