[HECnet] VMS FTP server?

[Johnny Billquist]

Thanks everyone for the offers. Right now I need to write some more code in order to test things.
I'll get back with more specific wishes in a few days.

Even better. This I can work with, and I can do the same...
Actually, I'll be tricky and start with RSX, and if that fails, try
VMS, on the client side. While the server should understand both.

Now I just need to figure out the binary blob. Could you capture one
from a plain text file transfer for me? I think that should be enough.
(Actually, any file, as long as you can also provide me with what a
DIR /FULL shows for the file.)

I have a very strong suspicion what is in there, I just want to verify it.

When I looked earlier there were a lot of zeros.   Guessing is probably not
worth it.   I think it would be more productive to dig through the source to the
HGFTP server.   The source is in the HGFTP033.F saveset within the previously
mentioned zip file.   The module FTP_FTON.B32 seems to contain the
relevant magic:

Thanks.

If you don't have the system to unpack the zip and extract these files from
the saveset I'll be glad to send them directly.   Otherwise I'm done digging.

This should be enough. The thing is, I was expecting it to be pretty much this.
It's just a couple of magic values that needed to be identified.

You have done more than enough. I do not expect that you have to do any
more. I eventually would just like to test/verify this against a live system. This
weekend probably...

That might be more of a problem...   I don't have a MultiNet system publicly exposed.

Hmmm...   But Process software does.   They ones who ended up with MultiNet:
