Just a warning : not so long ago we had problems with the MPE FTP commands and the buildparm and record length options. They simply didn't work and where confirmed by HP as "malfunctioning". We had just gone to 5.5 from 4. Again it's just a warning in case you're doing everything you should but not getting the results you expect.

Subject:        ftp on MPE...

We have recently configured the ftp server on our HP3000.  Everything
seems to work fine; however, when I transfer a file from a UNIX
machine, using an ascii transfer, the HP3000 reports that the record
length is 80... I need the record length to be 512.... Is there any
way to configure the ftp server to default to 512 record size or is
there an ftp command (on the client side) that will do this?

I appreciate any help!
