Hello Stephen,

Re:  FTP from VMS 6.2 to HP 996 running 5.5

FTP from forign host to 3000...

This works for me:

>PUT file file;rec=-132,1,f,ascii;disc=10000
                   ****
                   Specifies 132 bytes

The trick here is to not inlcude any blanks in the file name and
record length parameters (note: using build command format).
The forign host does not realize you are specifying record length,
it thinks you are specifying a really long file name...

Hope this helps.
