Hi all
We are running WIN/TCP vs 5.1 on VMS 5.4 and are using the secure vs of
FTP as recommended by Wollongong. One problem that we have seen is that when
I am FTP'ing from VMS to another machine, the 'ls' command is actually sent
as 'ls<space><space>'  (ls followed by 2 blanks). This causes unknown
directory errors on NOS/VE, IRIS (r3.3), but not on SUN, Ultrix or PC/TCP
from FTP. (The command 'ls directory' works properly).

Who is in error here. Is Wollongong violating the standard, or SGI and NOS/VE
being too fussy?

Thanks in advance for your help.
