Summary: ftp on a different operating system


Today I was trying to use an anonymous login at CUVMA (can't remember
the address) to get the kermit docs.  I found that their OS is not a unix
system or so it seemed, and consequently I couldn't do a thing.  I assume
it is non-unix since the remote help at CUVMA is different than the unix
help screen at Purdue.  I tried ftp with a number of our local machines 
using anonymous, and had no trouble. So my question is what to do if the
OS is not the same flavor or even the same dish i.e. VAX/VMS ?
TIA.
