Help requested with issue regarding file transfer...

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Hi Steve, Yes, thanks. In the end once I'd got the proxy configuration set at both ends (the transfer involves an index file push and then a data file pull) I had to work out that I needed to use Gold-Menu to pull up the option to actually perform the transfer. Took me four hours to transfer a set of files from one box to another mind - hardly and efficient process! Regards, Mark.

Proxy access is all completely new to me unfortunately! I think you're working now, but I figured I could add some comments on proxy access, which might help you and others. Proxy access is essentially a way for you to specify that a specific user, from a specific machine, should get access rights as a specific other user on the local machine if they do not specify any user information. As a good example, here is the proxy definitions on MIM:: PROXY>list Remote User Local Account ----------- ------------- *::* DECNET (DEFAULT) ERNIE::BILLQUIST BILLQUIST MAGICA::* * (DEFAULT) MIM::* * (DEFAULT) PONDUS::BILLQUIST BILLQUIST STARS2::DAVIDSON DAVIDSON PROXY> So, anyone on HECnet, with any username, will by default access MIM:: as the user DECNET. (This is because under RSX, there is no default DECnet account, so I implemented the same through proxy, which works if both sides have enabled proxy) Next line is that BILLQUIST (me) on node ERNIE:: will have access on MIM as user BILLQUIST (well, ok, that is also me). This means I don't have to enter username and passwords on ERNIE when I want to access my stuff on MIM. Next. Anyone from MAGICA:: will have access on MIM:: with the same username. Since the username databases are (supposedly) synced between MIM and MAGICA, this is a nice thing to do, so people don't have to enter passwords all over the place. They expect to be able to access their files on MIM without hassle, if they are logged in to MAGICA. Next, anyone on MIM:: can connect to MIM::, getting access with the name he have. Essentially, you can access your own stuff on MIM, even if you go over DECnet, with the correct rights. Then I also have an entry for me from PONDUS:: to MIM::. Same deal as from ERNIE. Last is an entry I have for DAVIDSON. I don't remember exactly why I set that one up, but it just allows him to access files on MIM from STARS2, without having to pass credentials. I hope this will make people understand a little better what proxy is, and how it can be used.

No, I'm wrong, it's in the manual, it's just in a subsequent section which doesn't really help when you're following the instructions step-by-step. Mark.

Hi guys, Could someone help me with a file transfer issue. I'm trying to get ALLIN1 to transfer all my documents from my VAX to my ALPHA. This happens via a management menu and a submitted batch job, but that job fails. I've narrowed it down to a copy operation: $ COPY oa$transfer:[MSW]pat_MSW.dat - SLAVE"A1$XFER_IN"::oa$loaduser:[000000]pat_MSW.dat %COPY-E-OPENOUT, error opening SLAVE"A1$XFER_IN"::OA$LOADUSER:[000000]PAT_MSW.DAT; as output -RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed -SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node The account A1$XFER_IN exists on SLAVE, as does the target directory. The instructions before transfer include setting up a proxy between the two accounts: UAF> ADD/PROXY SLAVE::allin1 A1$XFER_OUT Is this proxy command appropriate in this case? I thought maybe it should be A1$XFER_IN? Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
