7398.0. "Zero (0) File Size" by THEWAV::LEW () Thu May 22 1997 02:30

    Hello,  I have a problem that I hope someone could help me figure out.
    
    I have a PC running WFW v3.11 and Pathworks for DOS and Windows v6.0
    using TCPIP connecting to a file service on a VAX running Pathworks for
    OpenVMS v5.1D.
    
    From the VAX, I do a $dir on a file that show 85 blocks.  From the PC,
    I use the file manager to view that same file and see that equivalent
    file size.  When I copy that file to the local PC hard drive (C:), the
    file size on the local drive is zero (0) AND using the file manager the
    file "shows" zero (0) on the file server.  When I check that file from
    the VAX, it still show 85 blocks.  Also, when I do a 
    	$set file/prot=(w:RWED), the size of the file is viewable from the
    PC again.
    
    What's going on?  Thanks for your help!

What version of PATHWORKS for OpenVMS are you running? What are the permissions for that file, both VMS and LAN Manager permissions? Does using DOS' COPY /B command change the results?

	What I meant by "checking the file from the VAX": from the PC, the file size (using the file manager) said "0" so I logged in to the VAX and used OVMS ( $ dir/full) to verify that the file was not modified. The version of PATHWORKS for OpenVMS is 5.0D. For testing I set the file to RWED for system, owner, group and world. (I gave it everything). How do you check permission on the LAN Manager side? I'll try COPY /B. Thanks for your help!!
