ftp problem

[Uwe Zessin]

Hello Antonio,

thank you for your lesson in FTP ;-)

From Lokesh's question it is apparent that some component is stripping off the version number. I don't know his exact environment, so I was wondering if the old 'trick' of using "." instead of ";" for the version number separator did work in his environment.

(I know it is not really a "trick", but legitimate syntax on OpenVMS)

Also starting from ftp on NT to VMS :
>put file file;1
will always overwrite version 1
and is usefull for big files

and funny
>put file file;-1
will create file_-1

>put file file;+1
will create file__1

I believe the reason behind this problem is that FTP does not copy multiple file versions. THey have to be unique (as in DOS).
Yours Terry.
