FTP and NT

[Marcinik, Roger]

I should clarify and say that the problem is that the FTP to NT truncates
trailing blanks.
You're right:  as long as there is a character in position 84, the file
comes across OK.
But if it's blank, it truncates and then the file contains variable records
instead of fixed.

There should be no need to specify a file size for NT; this is just an MPE
anomaly.  Just specify "ascii" or "binary" depending on your file type and
transfer it.

	Is there any way to specify record size when transferring a file via
FTP to an NT server?

	For example, we receive a file from St. Louis every week that has
84-byte records.  This file is sent from an IBM mainframe and received by an
HP3000.  HP3000 FTP allows specifying the record size on the PUT statement,
e.g. put filename.txt filename.txt;rec=-84 for an 84-byte record.  Without
this option, FTP defaults to 80-byte records and truncates the last 4 bytes.

	Since we are switching the application from an HP3000 to an NT
server, we need an equivalent command to override the 80-byte default.
