Reply: (edit)If the extension of the file is .TXT try: FTP <Unix node name or address>
FTP> TEXT
FTP> MPUT *.TXT but it may be worthwhile to convert the files tro STREAM_LF format and then FTP then BINARY. I cannot tell the exact format (will look it up) Beware the file system on VMS is a RECORD based type, on Unix STREAM based. These are quite incompatible! Willem Willem Grooters
