The Question is: In (3116) "FTP and parameters? (username, password)" the question states that /username and /password parameters don't work with the FTP command. You responded that the command to use is copy/ftp. I am having the same problem. However I want to use the FTP command. Online help states that these parameters exist, and I know it used to work in a previous version. After an OS upgrade this week, the parameters no longer work. How can one open an FTP session in one command, including passing username and password? Thanks The Answer is :
COPY/FTP provides this capability, as does the FTP utility provided
with TCP/IP Services V5.0A. (This capability is also available in
earlier TCP/IP Services versions, as well. COPY/FTP is first available
in OpenVMS V6.2, with the installation of a compliant TCP/IP package.)
If you wish to specify the entire FTP operation in a single DCL command,
the OpenVMS Wizard generally recommends the use of the COPY/FTP mechanism.
The COPY/FTP command permits the specification of the source and
destination files in a single command.
That said, the OpenVMS Wizard has just tested the V5.0A FTP utility on
OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1, and has found it to operate. Commands such as
COPY/FTP and DIRECTORY/FTP also operate as expected. Examples of DCL
commands tested include the following:
$ FTP/USERNAME=username/PASSWORD=password ip.node.name
FTP> LS...
FTP> EXIT
$ DIRECTORY/FTP ip.node.name"username password"::*.bck
...
If you have a specific problem, please acquire the exact sequence of
command(s) used, the TCP/IP package and version, and please contact
the TCP/IP vendor. If this is the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
package, please first ensure you are using V5.0A, and then -- if the
problem persists -- please Compaq Customer Support Center directly.
