I need to get a file from a server running NT. The file on the NT server
uses line feeds only as record delimiters. My understanding is that this is
what is known as a bytestream file. I need a plain old MPE flat file with a
record length of 160 on the 3k.

So what's wrong with the following? All I get is a single record (the first
in the file).

 open xx.x.xx.xxx
 user user password
 cd directory_where_the_file_is
 bytestream
 get testfile.txt testfile.group;rec=-160,1,f,ascii;move
 quit
-----------------------------------------------------------
FTP will not do bytestream to record oriented conversion.

You must

 open xx.x.xx.xxx
 user user password
 cd directory_where_the_file_is
 bytestream
 get testfile.txt testfiby.group   << file will be bytestream >>
 quit

:FROMBYTE.HPBIN.SYS "TESTFIBY.GROUP TESTFILE.GROUP"
