- I need some help resolving an FTP problem with PC/NFS
- Version 3.5. I log into a VMS machine using PC/NFS FTP
- from an IBM PC. The VMS machine is running Wollogong's
- FTP software Version 5.1. I am trying to download multiple
- files from the VMS machine over Ethernet to my PC using
- "MGET". When I issue the "ftp mget *.*" command from the
- appropriate directory on the VMS machine, I get the
- following error message:
-
- ftp: can't open local file : no such file or directory
-
- I believe what is happening is that ftp is trying to
- expand the complete VMS file name literally including the
- semi-colon and the VMS file version number. When it trys
- to convert it to a DOS file name, it chokes with the above
- error message. Can anyone help me get around this problem.
- Single file transfers using the following command work fine:
-
- ftp> get vmsfilename dosfilename
-
- There are approximately 82 files I need to transfer on a weekly
- basis. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
