Subject: FTPing Using VMS on a VAX Host
Is there anyone who has experience using FTP on a VAX with VMS.
I discovered only a few weeks ago that I had access to FTP, but
I have not been able to use it correctly. I can logon to the
remote host from our VAX with VMS. However, once connected
the only command I seem to be able to use is DIR. I cannot
use CD to get into any of the subdirectories. Neither can I
use the GET command to retrieve files. The "computer" people
at my institution don't seem to know a thing about FTP, and I
would appreciate any help about retreiving files, both text
and binary, and downloading them to my PC. Thanks to anyone
who can give me any assistance.

I would appreciate it if I could collect contacts at the
Library of America: names, addresses, phones, email....
Thank you for your interest,
