PSFTP in openvms (mput)

[karthikeyan mahalingam]

when using mput with wildcard, the . is getting converted to directory name.

psftp> cd [.WORKSPACE]
Directory /disk$diskname/USERS/ABCD/[/WORKSPACE/]: no such file or directory
psftp> put sample.log
/disk$diskname/USERS/ABCD/sample/log: no such file or directory
psftp>

The filename with . is getting converted to directory.

How to copy the file using mput *.log.

Seems to be a specialty of PSFTP, using FTP from HPUX tp VMS I cannot reproduce the problem, even the standard windows FTP client works as expected.

Hi Kalle.

Can you please redirect, where i can get a possible solution to this problem.
i used "", it didn't work.

[Karl Rohwedder]

I don't know a solution, because I don't see a problem :-)
I attached a transscript, what I have done.

regards Kalle

I'll bite. What is "PSFTP"? Some FTP client
which runs somewhere?

> psftp> cd [.WORKSPACE]
> Directory /disk$diskname/USERS/ABCD/[/WORKSPACE/]: no such file or directory

Well, if the thing is thinking in UNIX-like
paths, then it might make more sense to
specify the directory that way. For example:

psftp> cd WORKSPACE
