That's what my fading memory was telling me. The last time I've used Multinet was
in 2002 though.
Hence my offer bring two systems online if he can use them.

It's worth noting that the Multinet FTP package is substantially different to the HP
version - from both a client and server perspective.

Johnny,
Just finished reading the ftp discussion and cannot figure whether you' ve found a VMS
ftp server...
I can offer two, one on axp (real iron) the other is a simple vax. VMS 8.3 and 6.1, both
run DEC's tcpip/ ucx product.

A different question is how to deal with binary file transfers to (for example) Unix
systems. I have some different options there as well, but I haven't figured one out
yet that does the right thing under all circumstances.
How about writing an archiver that produces a simple binary file as output but retains
all the RSX specific stuff within the archive, sort of like ZIP's -V option on VMS and
then using something like Kermit over say Telnet to transfer those files around?
That is already sortof existing. You can use LBR to stuff any files into
a library, and then I've written something similar to uuencode/uudecode
that can process any file, creating a text file, which is the only
universal file format. :-)
I'm sure there must be a Kermit port for RSX-11
out there somewhere..
Of course. But Kermit isn't exactly efficient. Not to mention that you
cannot, on an RSX system, do kermit over telnet...
