Re: Wput v. VMS



Hi Steven,
thanks for your hints so far. I integrated the vms-code into ftp-ls.c but i'd 
like to test it, since some parts needed to be adjusted to wput. So could you 
send me a typical vms-directory-listing as a text-file?

In the code it is written that vms reports the filesize in 512bytes-blocks.
So wouldn't it be ok to assume the filesize to be ($blocks-1) * 512 so that in 
case resuming is whished, wput would resume the file from there?

Regards,
Hagen
