Hello all @ 3000-l,

RE: FTP ZIP file from MPE to AIX

--------------------------------------------------
I am trying to ftp a ZIP file in the posix
environment to AIX using an FTP get.

I can successfully navigate to the correct group
and see the file from AIX within FTP. When I try
to do the get it fails with a NONEXISTENT GROUP
(FSERR 51) error. The file name is of format
filename.zip. I can get files that are not zipped
or more correctly I guess without the extension.
--------------------------------------------------

When specifying the file on the 3000, you trigger the "posix file
name" mode by specifying "./" (example: ./ntp.tar.Z) or by fully
qualifying the file name in posix name space (examle: /tmp/ntp.tar.Z)

So, if you are attempting a GET on the AIX connected to the HP3000 you
would:

cd /tmp
get ./ntp.tar.Z

~or~

get /tmp/ntp.tar.Z

I hope this helps.
