  Case-sensitivity with COPY/FTP? 
 The Question is:
 
Hello!
 
I am trying to copy files from VMS to DEC Unix
using COPY/FTP from a script (in order to save
the creation of a temporary command file for FTP
command).
The problem is, the created files on the Unix
machine always end up lower-case.
 
 
The only hint I found was with
"HELP TCP_IP_Services Command_Syntax Quotation_Marks":
 
"Due to differences in OpenVMS and UNIX syntax, some command
lines require quotation marks for selected keywords. These
requirements apply to case sensitivity, slashes, and certain
special characters (such as &amp;, =, and \)."
 
But quotation marks (alone?) do not preserve case as I found out.
This is how I call the COPY command:
 
COPY/FTP xx.yy 123.45.67.89"User secret"::"New.File"
The File will end up named "new.file" on the Unix server.
DIR/FTP however, seems to be case-sensitive, i.e.
 
DIR/FTP 123.45.67.89"User secret"::"New.File"
 
Will report: "%FTP-E-NOSUCHFILE, No such file New.File",
whereas
 
DIR/FTP 123.45.67.89"User secret"::"new.file"
 
will show the file.
 
Is there a way to make COPY/FTP preserve the case of the file name given on
the command line?
 
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Check the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS version and ECO level.
  If current, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center
  for assistance in resolving this.
 
  One alternative would involve the use of NFS.
