What is the purpose for the "connection" between the VMS server and the PC ??

If UCX ( TCP/IP ) is installed wouldn't FTP help ?

its ok anderson but i need pathworks...??

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

Pathworks is a client/server application to
make the OpenVMS server act as File & Print server for PC:s

Pathworks is not a requirement for FTP.

Have you never used FTP ? on a PC for example.

1>tcp/ip
2>pathworks

It depends on your needs.....

Until now, the only info you have given us is "Filetransfer".

I say it once more.

You MUST be more detailed when you describe your problem. If I were the one having problem and you were trying to help me......what info would you ask for ??
