I have a customer trying to use ntrans to change
the case of mixed case filenames being transferred between
DUNIX machines using ftp.
They are doing:
ftp> ntrans ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
when I do 'status', I dont see that all the characters list as
mapped for ntrans:
ftp> status
Connected to tsc.csc.cxo.dec.com.
No proxy connection.
Mode: stream; Type: binary; Form: non-print; Structure: file
Verbose: on; Bell: off; Prompting: on; Globbing: on
Store unique: off; Receive unique: off
Case: off; CR stripping: on
Ntrans: (in) ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (out) abcdefghijklmnop
Nmap: off
Hash mark printing: off; Use of PORT cmds: on
Under these conditions if I transfer a file that has the mapped
ntrans characters listed it is translated properly
Here are some example filenames and what they transferred as:
AbCd abcd
TeSt TeSt
RCOd_bld.P Rcod_bld.p (notice all but the 'R' were listed
for ntrans under ftp status)
look like QAR time, or am I expecting too much from ftp ntrans? 8^}

Hi, The buffers are hard-coded in the ftp sources to only allow 16 translations, it's the same way in BSD. I guess I don't see any reason this can't be increased, you might as well file a qar. You can use the 'case' subcommand with get and mget to do the same thing, but it won't work with put and mput. -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

actually case didnt do the right thing with mixed case filenames
either.
I sort of expected that since the manpage indicates case is for
ALL uppercase or lowercase translations.
I'll open a QAR on ftp/ntrans
