I've not done it, but if ftp can't be correctly configured, you could try zip
(off the freeware disk), or mend the files after transmission (see "$ set
fil/attr..." if you're on a recent-ish VMS version, or Joe Meadows' file
utility (also free) if you're back at V5.5 or thereabouts.

I'd go for zip, since compression would be a handy bonus.
