The two tricks to FTP'ing into QUCDN are:

1) You must have a write password on your 191 disk *before* you can FTP to/from it. hey have to be set while logged onto VM: ("help dirm mdisk" for details)

  • >Ready;
  • >dirm mdisk 191 = get_ok put_ok =
  • >DVHDIR005R Enter current CP logon password to validate command or blank to exit.
  • >DVHDIR007I Directory change not effective until source updated and online.
  • >Ready;
  • 2) After you've FTP'd into QUCDN, you have to send the ACCOUNT command with your minidisk password before you can "see" your 191 disk:

  • >qlink% ftp qucdn.queensu.ca
  • >Connected to qucdn.queensu.ca.
  • >220-FTPSERVE at QUCDN.QueensU.CA, 19:47:48 EST THURSDAY 02/09/95
  • >220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes.
  • >Name (qucdn.queensu.ca:xxxxxxxx): thompsng
  • >331 Send password please.
  • >Password:
  • >230-THOMPSNG logged in; no working directory defined
  • >230 to access THOMPSNG 191, send 'ACCOUNT minidisk-password'
  • >ftp> account put_ok
  • >230 Working directory is THOMPSNG 191
  • >ftp> dir *.exe
  • >200 Port request OK.
  • >125 List started OK
  • >LCDOS010 EXE V 80 369 30 2/08/95 21:55:36 GDT191
  • >250 List completed successfully.
  • >remote: *.exe
  • >79 bytes received in 0.035 seconds (2.2 Kbytes/s)
  • >ftp> quit
  • >221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
  • >qlink%
  • Have fun,

    I'm sorry that I have not been able to answer this query sooner. You can use WS_FTP to transfer files from VM to a PC. The biggest and most complicated part is setting up VM to do it. Once this is done, it is fairly simple to use. Here is what you need to do on the VM side.

    1) Need to assign a read/write password on your A disk.

    Before starting this process, check to see whether this has already been done. Use the

    DIRM MDPW

    command. If there are no passwords assigned, use the command

    DIRM MDISK

    This command presents a somewhat complicated looking screen. Just type 191 for the Minidisk Address. Press TAB and type in a Read password. If you want to transfer files to your VM account then press TAB and type in a Write password. Please note that your read and write passwords should not be the same as your VM logon password. Press ENTER. You will be asked to enter your VM logon password (this is to verify that you are the owner of this account). In a few moments, you will get a confirmation from the system. If you enter DIRM MDPW again, you will see your new passwords.

    2) Log off VM.

    WS_FTP will not work if you are still logged on or if you just disconnect.

    3) Run WS_FTP.

    Enter the read or write password when it asks for an account. If you enter the read password, you can only transfer from VM to a PC. The write password allows you to transfer to VM.
