INTRO: I am having a problem with labeled file transfer in OS/2. (I
have read the material on VMS labeled transfer from the book and the
section Transferring OS/2 File with Attributes from the updates.)
WHAT I DID: transferred an entire directory tree from a FAT volume on one
OS/2 system over a LAN TCP/IP connection to a FAT volume on another OS/2
system. SET FILE TYPE LABEL on both systems. No change to defaults for
SET FILE LABEL. I used CKermit 191 for OS/2, ftp'd yesterday from the
archives directory at Columbia.
WHAT I EXPECTED: EAs would be transferred and would end up in an EA
DATA.SF file on the receiving end, the normal way OS/2 stores extended
attributes on a FAT volume.
WHAT I GOT: each transferred file has a KERMIT LABELED FILE header on it,
as if the files had been sent to a system that could not handle EAs.
QUESTIONS: I am not sure if the problem is with my understanding of how
labeled transfer is supposed to work or in what I did. I would
appreciate clarification. Also, the VMS material makes reference to the
CKVCVT program to remove headers of this kind on VMS. Does an
equivalent exist for OS/2? It does not appear to be in the
distribution.
