Mike,

Go to our HP patch maindb, and search your patch.

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do?

On this choose --->
-->OpenVMS --> Alpha --> V3.2 --> enter search string (DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0504-155-4)

you will see the list of patches, but go to last page (total 3 pages), you can find your required patch).

If you don't find, please let me know.

...or - if you can do anonymous FTP - grab ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0504-155-4.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE

(I prefer the FTP interface to ITRC's patch site)

cu,
Martin

Thanks for everyone's responses. Now that I've downloaded the patch, I'm going to show my complete ignorance and ask how do I install the patch.

[Karl Rohwedder]

Just RUN the *.*AXPEXE file, it will create the 'real' PCSI kit with type .PCSI.

Then install it with:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL[/SAVE] TCPIP_ECO

If th ekit is not in your default dir. add a /SOURCE=... qualifier.

To activate the changes, a reboot will be nec.

regards Kalle

YOU ARE ALL AWESOME! THANK YOU.
Problem solved. sftp ls command hangs command prompt to the point where you have to open another decterm when using tcpip version 5.4. Patched the system to tcpip 5.4 ECO 5 and sftp ls command works. I will test scp later but this is great progress.
I've worked with our VAX VMS systems for years but hardly ever need to do anything to them since they are so solid. I took a course on working with the Alpha's 5 years ago but this is the first problem we've encountered. Help like this is why they invented the Internet. Thanks everyone.
