Using DEC's NFT to transfer encrypted source DOS to VMS
891128-pmf02There are problems transferring encrypted source from DOS to VMS
if the user does not have a Digital-provided file transfer mechanism.
If you are using DECNet's PATHWORKS FOR DOS (known also at various
times as DECNET-DOS, PCSA, or DIGITAL LANWORKS), use the
file utility called NFT (Network File Transfer).
Enter "NFT" at the DOS command prompt to invoke the utility.
Then use the command:
copy/image/variable <filename> <destination (including node name)>
to transfer the encrypted source code files (wildcards are allowed).
The IMAGE option requests that NFT copy the file to the remote system
with no data conversion of any kind. It remains binary data.
However, the default record format is FIXED, so to change the default,
you also need to add the VARIABLE switch. This resets the record
format (RFM) to variable-length records.
