Subject: Re: Download service for VMS and Tru64 layered products

As a result of the feedback from comp.os.vms they have decided to allow FTP
access to the kits.

there are 2 ways to do this..

1) via FTP command level etc  (browsing is allowed)
2) via ftp://user:pass@www1.aclabs.com (browsing is allowed)

I have checked the ftp:// stuff with Mozilla on OpenVMS and Netscape 3.03 on
OpenVMS
The FTP command line interface works with OpenVMS

the username and password were sent on the yellow sheet of paper in your
q2cy2003 SPL distribution.

There are pointers on all the pages on how to get ftp of individual kits.
here is the basic part of that info condensed..

In order to download kit (MV4AA_1_3_SSB.ZIP), follow these instructions:

                       Below is a sample OpenVMS FTP session that will
retrieve the MV4AA_1_3_SSB.ZIP kit. The
                       user-supplied information is in blue, and the system
prompts and responses are in black. Replace
                       the Username and Password with the login information
you received in the most recent SPL kit.

                       $ ftp www1.aclabs.com
                       220 aclabsweb1 Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
                       Connected to WWW1.ACLABS.COM.
                       Name (WWW1.ACLABS.COM:(none)): Username
                       331 Password required for Username.
                       Password: Password
                       230 User Username logged in.
                       FTP> cd VA
                       250 CWD command successful.
                       FTP> binary

                       FTP> get MV4AA_1_3_SSB.ZIP
                       200 PORT command successful.
                       150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for
MV4AA_1_3_SSB.ZIP(nnn bytes).
                       226 Transfer complete.

                       FTP> quit
