eventually as well, but LIST is the immediate interest.
The MultiNet FTP Server moves files between similarly capable FTP Clients and keeps the File Attributes consistent while copying data (i.e. You can simply ftp RMS Indexed files between VMS systems and the results will be immediately usable).
I know I read some manual about the DEC TCPIP package ftp server and client also managing this. It would, in fact, be nice to be compatible with that. However, atleast when storing or retreiving files from Unix systems, what DEC did is that they actually transfer two files. One with the data, and a separate one with the file metadata. Ugly, I think, and I would like to try and avoid that.
But that is a client only thing, as far as I can see. Anyone know how VMS does it if talking to another VMS system?
I suspect I might have a hard time if they do it by detecting that the remote server is a VMS system, since I will not lie about that. :-)

Tried finding rhesus. Also tried HILANT without luck. :-)

If you could do it in a snap, that would be nice.

I can foward a port readily.
I also have 4.3BSD's one up 24x7.
Unix is not that meaningful, and besides, I have plenty to test against. VMS is much closer to RSX, and as such, can provide some more interesting ideas.

Absolutely Paul :-)
If I had any previous experience with that kind of coding I would at least gave a look. Seriously, it's not a one man job, right?
Anyway , it was a nice idea..
So if there's a spare decbrouter 90 around I'm willing to try that.

Pretty much. It would be possible to port the code back to that version, but it would be a fair amount of work and not something I d be interested in. I prefer Python 3 for new projects for a number of reasons; some of those affect pydecnet significantly.
I suppose you could see what s involved in building Python 3.3 on VMS? :-)

There is a libpcap version for VMS, it's used by simh.
The problem is Python. AFAIK that i s just v2.7 for VMS. I know my systems
run that kit, but I don't use it much so a newer version may be available.

The Python 3.3 what s new document says that VMS is no longer supported
due to lack of a maintainer . So it may be possible to build Python 3.2 on
VMS. The current DECnet/Python code wants 3.3, but earlier on I used 3.2
and there isn t much that needs 3.3. (In other words, it would not be all
that hard to change it back to allow 3.2.)
