Hi there,
Not running an ftp daemon on my HP3000, I have to pull a flat file from my
HP9000 and set the record size of the created file on the HP3000.

This is the method I use

ftp> get /tmp/srcfile tgtfile;rec=-512,,f,ascii

where srcfile is the file on the HP9000 and tgtfile is the file to create on
the
HP3000.

This aside, I've just bothered to get the ftp daemon on the HP3000 active and
this is the syntax 'pushing' from the HP9000

ftp> put srcfile tgtfile;rec=-512,,f,ascii

where srcfile is on the HP9000 and tgtfile will be on the HP3000

hope this helps some,
