- Ok. I read the bookreader book "DEC TCP/IP Services for VMS Use" and in
- particular section
- 4.4 Using FTP from a command procedure. It even gave an example:
-
- FTP
- Connect "harry"
- LOGIN=(USER_NAME="myusername",PASSWORD=mypassword)
-
- None of which worked. It connected fine, once the quote marks were
- removed from around the
- node name. The session went:
-
- $set verify
- $@ftp.com
- $FTP
- connect estwm8
- 220 ESTWM8 FTP Server (UCX Version 2.0) Ready.
- Connected to ESTWM8.
- LOGIN=(USER_NAME="hevans",PASSWORD=mypassword)
- %CLI-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters
- \=\
- dir
- 425 Not logged in.
- exit
- $EXIT
-
- So, what is going on? Does this "feature" really work or is the manual
- ahead of the software?
-
- Hugh.
-
- P.S. I also tried it without the '=' and it still didn't work.
