Hello Alan,
Re: Problem doing mget
There are two things in the situation you have quoted.
1. Since the file names are not valid MPE file names, you can
transfer them, only as POSIX files. In this case, you need
to modify the mget commands as follows :
ftp> mget ./*
(Donna's method is rather roundabout)
This will result in all files being retrieved as POSIX files
with the same name as in the source machine.
2. The above will not retrieve files with ";1". This is
because, FTP on MPE, interprets anything following a ";"
as build parameter. As you know, you can specify a build
parameter when you do a get/put in MPE system.
I can't think of a workaround for these files, short of
renaming them, without the ";" part.
Hope this helps.
