Comment:

in trying to ftp a 500k file to the vax server, I'm getting an error that:
550-rms write rtb record too large.
550 !ul byte record too large for user's buffer
I'm receiving this error on my Win2k workstation but I was wondering if there's anything on the vax perventing me from getting this file to it.

DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Version V5.0A
on a MicroVAX 3100-96 running OpenVMS V7.2

thanks

Obvious.
BINARY will send the file in chuncks of 512 bytes/package. ASCII will send it record-by-record. Since the record management system will store the chucnks, it must fit within RMS's record buffer - which is limited to 32K (unsigned word (16 bit). If a record exceeds that size, you'll get this error.
