As an addendum. I now realise some 'standard' commands, such as GET, are not standard. I assume FTP translates them to the RFC959 standard RETR, I was somewhat mislead by the fact that $MS also uses get and so thought it was a standard command, oh how daft of me. We seem to be getting a 'Cannot open data connection' message followed by an 'invalid reply code from remote' message. I guess the basic question is are there any preferred FTP servers that can be recommended for use with MPE. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
