Thanks for your report. We have done some improvements recently. I'm sending you an email with a development version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

broken again in 5.17.9

Trying to copy from OpenVMS to Windows - ascii or binary
Connection works fine, and the initial directory is as expected.
However, when copying we get:

Copying files from remote side failed.
Failed to parse specification /DISK1:[KANE.USER.CES193]/NAV_19.LOG
file specification syntax error

That slash / after the closing bracket should not be there for a valid OpenVMS file spec.
The closing bracket alone already ends the directory part of the file spec.

Advise?

Can you tell me the syntax of Remote Directory on z/OS(MVS) for non-UNIX dataset?

Congratulation...

Hello Martin,

Good news, version 5.10.2 is working perfectly with a VMS FTP server. I've tested PUT and GET with removing of the file after the transfer, using the GUI and the DotNet library, and everything works fine.

Congratulation, WinSCP is now fully compliant with FTP server under VMS operating system.

Thanks for your help, it's very appreciated.

Good continuation with your great product.

Best regards,

Re: Testing VMS transfer... good, exception of the DELE command

Hello Martin,

I found something wrong in the source file of ServerPath.cpp in source/filezilla at line 249: 
file=file.Mid(rpos+1);

should be 
file=path.Mid(rpos+1);

because file is never initialized in the VMS section.

I've done some modifications in this source file to improve (I hope) the detection of a VMS path.

I've include the modified version in this post, but I cannot compile the entire solution.

Is it possible for you to recompile WinSCP including this new attached version of the source file and send me the executable (and corresponding dotnet dll) and I will test it in my environment?

Best regards,

JF

Re: Testing VMS transfer... good, exception of the DELE command

The way WinSCP implements the deletion is not compatible with VMS.

We may improve that eventually.

Testing VMS transfer... good, exception of the DELE command

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your help.

Your last post has helped me to correct the transfer problem from Windows to VMS. Now, I'm able to send any file from my Windows apps to a VMS environment with your last version of WinSCP (and the / at the end of the path instruction :)

Now I've started to test the other way: transfer files from VMS to our Windows environment. WinSCP works great, exception for the DELEr command when it try to remove the file transferred from the VMS directory. I've attached a part of the SessionLogPath (because file is huge). Summary, file is transferred correctly, with the good name and good data inside; the only little problem is that WinSCP could not remove the file after the transfer on VMS.

Could you check why the DELE command fail on VMS side?

Best regards,

JF

Re: SessionLogPath

As documented
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session_putfiles#remotepath
Full path to upload the file to. When uploading multiple files, the filename in the path should be replaced with operation mask or omitted (path ends with slash).

You pass in "$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]", but it should be "$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]/".

Log report

Hello Martin,

See the log file in attachment.

I think that the problem is here: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<session xmlns="http://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0" name="FTPUSER@10.99.99.99" start="2017-06-09T13:27:01.610Z">

  <group name="pwd" start="2017-06-09T13:27:06.485Z">
    <cwd>
      <cwd value="/$1$DIA1:[USERS.PROJET_M]" />
      <result success="true" />
    </cwd>
  </group>
  <group name="put -delete -nopermissions -preservetime -transfer=&quot;binary&quot; -- &quot;D:\Program Files\xxx\*.*&quot; &quot;$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]&quot;" start="2017-06-09T13:27:09.423Z">

      <result success="true" />
    </upload>
  </group>

The <cwd value="/$1$DIA1:[USERS.PROJET_M]" /> should be <cwd value="/$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]" /> (the destination path in the PutFiles command)

The <destination value="/$1$DIA1:[USERS.PROJET_M]/$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]" /> should be something like <destination value="/$1$DIA1:[000000.DEVEL.INTGPC]DF027FDR.T32" /> (no slash between path and filename).

I've not tested the GetFiles() method, but a similar problem is possible.

Remember that WinSCP works; it create the file with good data inside, in the good directory, but without a filename.

Thanks for your help.

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, set Session.SessionLogPath. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem).

Strange problem with DOTNET versus PutFiles() method on VMS

Hello Martin,

Since the last available version (May 31), I'm able to transfer files to VMS using the WinSCP GUI, but when I try to do the same thing via a call to PutFiles() method in .NET, I've got no error and the file is transfered on VMS side, but I've lost the file name on VMS (all files transferred on VMS side are named .;1, .;2, and so on; each new file create a .;99 file on VMS. The contain of the file is correct, only the name of the file is lost.

I've try to put the debug option, but it seems that is not working when we call a function via the .net interface. I see some "log" methods in the .NET interface but I don't know if they are working, and how to use it. If I can setup some logging options in .NET to help you in debugging on your side, let me know.

Best regards.

Re: Problem solved

Hello Martin,

Could you send me the WinSCPnet.dll corresponding to the new build of WinSCP you have sent to me to complete testing on my side?

When do you expect to publish a new version including those correctives for VMS?

Best regards.

Problem solved

Hello Martin,

I've sent you a new email yesterday to describe the problem with the slash character in the path on a VMS operating system.

The fix you have sent me works perfectly, but others commands like DELE do not works because we have a slash in the command.

Thanks

Desperate: File Transfert on Open VMS not working

Hello,

With the last version of WinSCP, I was able now to connect to a FTP hosted on a OpenVMS server (good news). I was able to see files in directory, to change directory, but the file transfert always failed with a "%RMS-F-DIR, error in directory name".

In the part of log below, you can see the CWD command used to change the directory on the server, and the command was successful. I can see the list of files in the directory correctly.

When I try to transfer a file (by drag and drop) on this directory (I try from my computer to the FTP, and from the FTP to my computer), WinSCP do a CWD command, but the command failed (the CWD command is identical to the one used previously, exception for an extra / at the end of the command). The file transfer seems to fail because this CWD command was failed.
