Indeed, the quota was the problem. Works now. Excellent! Cool. However, RSTS/E did not present the kind of attributes on text files that I would have thought.
Native RSTS files don t *have* attributes, no more than Unix files do. FAL supplies something if you don t specifically ask for a transfer mode, and that something is probably a safe but unhelpful default like undefined records, 512 block size.
Right. I just sortof expected DAP to say that they were stream files, or something like that.
But on the other hand, that could possibly be messy if the file actually was some binary thing, so maybe unknown makes more sense after all.
If you ask for text mode, FAL will handle that, and supply something more helpful. Either stream_crlf, or it will convert to a more popular RMS format, I don t remember.
It obviously do work right if you ask for ASCII. I wonder which end do the conversion in that case. Is the sending side aware that the file should be sent as some kind of ASCII text file?
RSX and VMS don t have this because all files are RMS files.
Well, technically, in RSX you can have either an RMS-11 DAP, or an FCS-11 DAP. But since RMS is pretty much a superset of FCS it's more of a technicality than a real point. :-)

If the RSTS file is one that does have attributes already, like a TSK file or an RSX format object file or a BCK (backup set) file, RSTS will just send those attributes across and all is well. The trouble is that you have to supply attributes if they aren t already in place.

TOPS-20 FAL looks semi-sane, and I can talk with it.
Tops-10 FAL looks really weird, but at least some kind of communication is possible.
RSTS/E FAL is not agreeing with RSX, it would seem. :-(
Well, I can get at least a little bit of communication. I can get a DIRECTORY and I can type a remote file, forcing the mode to ASCII (/AS).

Since RSTS native files are not RMS files, and login.com most likely is such a file, chances are it s coming across as a file of undefined record format. Either that, or stream-crlf. You may want to look at a protocol trace to see what it s doing. That could explain the unsupported record format message.
RSTS can certainly talk to other NFTs, but you have to tell it how to map native files to some RMS format, if you re pulling from RSTS.

There apparently was, but it seems few ever have seen it. (Guess it falls under the same category as DECnet/8. It apparently did exist at one point, but noone seems to actually have run it. Well, I actually have DECNET-8 sources, but it's only DECnet phase II, and in addition it requires RTS-8.)
I recall to have read somewhere that there was a Phase III implementation for RT-11.
