Hi Ram,

You can do this this by using FTP command on VMS. However,I am not sure what you want to do. If FTP is not enabled in your VMS box, then you need to enable FTP first. That you can do by running SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM.

Can you kindly explain your what problem you are facing in detail?

HTH,
Thanks & regards,
Lokesh

Ram,

this depends on your FTP client, but on Windows, it would be like:

> FTP your-vms-node
Username: your-user
Password: your-pw
FTP> CD DKB500:[DEV.TESTCLI]
FTP> PUT filename
FTP> QUIT

ram,

if the file contains just plain text (which I think is most probable) you must insert a line
TYPE A
(for ASCI)
before the PUT command
(otherwise the contents will be recognisable, but look quite funny)

Proost.

Have one on me.

Hi Ram,
you can use GET command to read, PUT to send. If you want to get multiple files you can use MGET command; if you want to put multiple files you can use MPUT command.
To change local directory you can type LCD command.

Ram,

FTP> cd KDB500:[DEV.TESTCLI]
FTP> pwd

FTP> dir or ls -- list files from remote host
FTP> !dir -- list files from local host

FTP> mget *.* -- will copy all the files

But not sure whether you can FTP the whole directory and its subdir using
FTP> mget dka0:[cobol...]src.dir

It's depend on the FTP version you have.
