- We've run into a glitch which I hope can be easily solved. We want to
- transparently keep our anonymous ftp archives accessible from our VMS
- machine on our HP-UX, with the TGV NFS client pointing to the device.
- Then, define the MULTINET_ANONYMOUS_FTP_DIRECTORY to a directory tree on
- the device defined by the logical created with NFSMOUNT. So far, so good
- (or so it seems -- if this is a bad idea, please let me know).
-
- When this is done, a DIR command in an ftp session to the VMS machine gives
- today's date as the file date. In fact, doing a DIRECTORY/DATE at the VMS
- level within that tree gives today's date. A VMS DIRECTORY/DATE=MODIFIED
- on the NFS mounted device at the VMS level shows dates which are in
- accordance with our Unix machine (which is what we'd prefer to broadcast on
- the VMS host, as well).
-
- Is there any way to achieve this (i.e., what didn't we read in the manuals
- that we should have)?
-
- Regards and thanks in advance, George
