Scp to Solarise node

Kumar_Sanjay — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:22:18 GMT

We are sending some SCP file from VMS to SUN node.
we are able to do SCP sucessfully but unable to put file in Upper case. looks like my syntex is work.. any one please help me,

scp "EXTRACT.CSV" userid1@sunsystem1.cop.net:"/app/tei1/BKP/INPUTS/AP/""TEST.CSV"

We can able to transfer the file.. but remort end we are receiveing the file with "
Exam "TEST.CSV

could any one please tell me how to remove " ?

Did you try removing the "" before
'TEST.CSV'?

scp "EXTRACT.CSV" userid1@sunsystem1.cop.net:"/app/tei1/BKP/INPUTS/AP/TEST.CSV"

DCL thinks that "AB""CD" is really
AB"CD

Steven, How i can remove the "
so it will be ABCD

[How i can remove the "]

First of all remove the double "" from the scp command.

If the question is how to remove the " on the Unix side:
mv '"TEST.CSV' TEST.CSV

This method is transferring file name as 'TEST.CSV

scp "EXTRACT.CSV" userid1@sunsystem1.cop.net:"/app/tei1/BKP/INPUTS/AP/TEST.CSV"
I tested before, it will recognize entire path as directory and hence transfer fail

Re: Scp to Solarise node

Joseph,

1) The Path is case sensative so i must put " "
otherwise it say invalid path.

userid1@sunsystem1.cop.net:"/app/tei1/BKP/INPUTS/AP/"TEST.CSV

if i transfer, it is sucessfull but lowercase file name in Unix system.

Now i want to trasnfer the file as upper case as well.

What, exactly, are we dealing with here?

tcpip show version

uname -a
ssh -V

> I tested before, it will recognize entire

What, exactly, does that mean? As usual,
showing actual commands with their actual
output can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

Around here:

alp $ dire wd.c;

Directory ALP$DKC0:[SMS.ITRC]

wd.c;20

Total of 1 file.

alp $ scp wd.c sms@sol:"/usr/users/sms/UC_DIR/WD.C"
wd.c | 1.1kB | 1.1 kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100%

alp $ ssh -l sms sol "ls -l /usr/users/sms/UC_DIR"
Authentication successful.

total 4
-rwxr-xr-- 1 sms users 1141 Jun 8 01:57 WD.C

alp $ tcpip show version

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 5
on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V8.3

sol# uname -a

Sanjay,
I think reading the VMS user and DCL dictionary manual may help to understand, what double double quotes within a quoted string mean.

The simple fact -what Stevens example shows- is:
put the whole remote file specification in string quotes, not only the path.
OR, if Your parse_stayle is EXTENDED, just specify the output path , leaving off the file-name, then the output name will be identical to the local one:

scp EXTRACT.CSV userid1@sunsystem1.cop.net:"/app/tei1/BKP/INPUTS/AP/"

Re: Scp to Solarise node

Joseph Huber_1 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 07:35:58 GMT

And by the way, in my environment there is no need to put anything in string quotes at all:

MPIW10_HUB>scp Test.CSV pclhec01:tmp/
Test.CSV | 5B | 0.0 kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100%

MPIW10_HUB>
MPIW10_HUB>ssh pclhec01 ls tmp/Test.CSV
Authentication successful.
tmp/Test.CSV

My environment:
Parse Style: Extended
VMS 7.3-1 , TCPIP 5.4

(and don't know if it is important, the DECC$ feature logicals are set as if DECC$UNIX_LEVEL=30 in later versions of VMS.)

I assume that "are set" means that _you_ set
them. And yes, that's probably _very_
important in a case like this. Unlike some
programs I could name, the TCPIP SSH-related
utilities seem not to set any appropriate
DECC$feature logical names themselves, so
SET PROCESS /PARSE_STYLE, by itself, doesn't
do much.

Do you really leave these DECC$feature names
set all the time? To me, that sounds
dangerous. I have Parse Style: Extended set
in my LOGIN.COM, but I don't dare define any
DECC$feature logical names for general use.
As it says in the HELP (CRTL
Feature_Logical_Names):

[...]
o Do not set C RTL feature logical names for the system.
Set them only for the applications that need them,
because other applications including OpenVMS components
depend on the default behavior of these logical names.

"my environment" means my process environment, not system settings, every user follows its own taste, but most interactive work is done on Linux systems.

decc$feature logicals: probably a YMMV case.
I am mainly working on/programming for Unix systems, and doing system management for the remaining VMS systems, but still prefer to do much editing etc. on VMS. So for me it is more convenient not to put string quotes everywhere.
I almost never have problems with that - but maybe I seldom do complicated things on VMS requiring strict VMS behaviour.

Re: Scp to Solarise node

Joseph Huber_1 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:00:23 GMT

and for ssh and scp, the only one DECC$ feature necessary is (probably)
define DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE "ENABLE"
together with parse_style=extended.
