Hi there,
I don't know if this subject has been discussed before.......
A customer has problems transfer .DDIF files between VMS and
UNIX. After the transfer the files are empty. He uses both
FTP and RCP. I found the way to transfer files using FTP.
FTP> PUT/RAW file.ddif
But....how do I get RCP, COPY/RCP or COPY/FTP to work ???
Thanks,

I don't think you can do this without some special purpose utility that
understands DDIF.
On OpenVMS there is DDIF metadata stored in application ACEs. On UNIX
I don't think there is any application-specific extension possible in a
file header, so the same metadata must be in the body of the file. If
there were a header extension in UNIX, you would still need something
that understands how to transfer the metadata to it from the VMS
application ACEs.

re Note 5415.0 by ASHAM::H_ANDERSSON:
I find that some DDIF applications on (DECwrite, for example)
don't seem to care whether the DDIF semantic tag is set on
the file or not. For DECwrite files that I want to transfer
to DECwrite for Windows, I just set file/nosemantics -- I
don't know whether this works for other DDIF files and
applications.
It would really be nice if tools such as UCX file transfer
mechanisms would simply treat files with DDIF stored
semantics as binary blocks.

Does COPY /FTP /BINARY .not. work? | |||||
