- Thanks to everyone who replied.

- I was pointed to the following things:
-
- 1. To get Ultrix file names you have to explicitly name the target file
- in the COPY command on the VMS node:
- $ copy foo.bar ultrix_node"account password"::"foo.bar"
- If the name changes or you don't know it, you have to build it on the fly,
- parsing the parameterlist or sys$input or whatever.
-
- 2. To change the umask of files created by fal on Ultrix, you have to
- change the fal object in the decnet object data base:
- # ncp def object fal file /etc/fal_params
- for example. The file /etc/fal_params then sets the umask and other things
- and finally execs /usr/etc/fal:
-
- setenv fal_umask 73
- exec /usr/etc/fal
-
- the umask has to be specified *decimal*. This is described in the DECnet
- for Ultrix Release Notes.
