(if anyone reads this ;( I'm going to copy this message to mu.vms also. That is a much better location for this discussion. I don't understand how a different version of Zmodem or Ymodem-G will help your problem. VMS filenames will always be case insensitive regardless of the transfer program you're using. The extra $'s are VMS FTP's way of telling you that it couldn't accurately reproduce the file name. If you want a better filename put it on the "get" command after the remote file name. For example, ftp.somewhere.net> get WierdCasedFilename.TxT vmsfilename.txt This may help the problem somewhat. Also, is there something special about Amiga filenames longer than 15 characters? VMS should be able to reproduce these accurately as VMS's filenames (and extensions) can be up to 39 characters in length. VMS filenames can't have more than 1 dot, are always uppercase, and can't contain most special chararacters. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
