277.0. "$ COPY/FTP with different target-filename?" by ATZIS2::EHRLICH_K (Never met a Lady like her before!) Tue Mar 04 1997 08:22

Hi,

	customer of mine found some different behaviours with
the $COPY/FTP on OpenVMS VAX and ALPHA (V6.2):

Transferring a file (WELCOME.TXT) to the target-PC which should have
a different name (e.g. WEL.TXT) doesn't work on OpenVMS VAX.
 
$ COPY/FTP/noanonym/ascii/log/verbose welcome.txt pc"domain\user pwd"::WEL.TXT
220 pc Microsoft FTP Service (Version 2.).
Connected to pc.aui.dec.com.
331 Password required for domain\user.
230-Welcome to the MCS FTP Server
230 User domain\user logged in.
550 WEL.TXT/: The directory name is invalid.
550 WEL.: The system cannot find the file specified. 
200 Type set to A.
200 Port command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for WELCOME.TXT.
%FTP-S-COPIED, SYS$LOGIN:WELCOME.TXT;1 copied to pc.aui.dec.com"domain\user pwd"
::WELCOME.TXT (331 bytes)
226 Transfer complete.
local: SYS$LOGIN:WELCOME.TXT;1 remote: WELCOME.TXT
331 bytes sent in 00:00:00.03 seconds (323.24 Kbytes/s)

On the ALPHA it works pretty fine: (see below)

$ COPY/FTP/noanonym/ascii/log/verbose welcome.txt pc"domain\user pwd"::WEL.TXT
220 pc Microsoft FTP Service (Version 2.).
Connected to pc.aui.dec.com.
331 Password required for domain\user.
230-Welcome to the MCS FTP Server
230 User domain\user logged in.
200 Type set to A.
200 Port command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for WEL.TXT.
%FTP-S-COPIED, SYS$LOGIN:WELCOME.TXT;1 copied to pc.aui.dec.com"domain\user pwd"
::WEL.TXT (331 bytes)
226 Transfer complete.
local: SYS$LOGIN:WELCOME.TXT;1 remote: WEL.TXT
331 bytes sent in 00:00:00.00 seconds (323.24 Kbytes/s)
221

And during the tests I found another problem: 

If you don't specify a password (e.g. only an username) you'll be 
prompted for the password. Unfortunately this password gets displayed
on the screen. This is reproducable on both platforms.

Is this a known restriction? QAR-time?

Many thanks for your kind support.

Cheers
