   First, blaming Windows was a reflex, and was not based on
any actual information.  Second, while the original problem
report was approximately information-free, it appears that
the original complainer was using the FTP _client_ on the VMS
side.  Third, the problem has been solved.

   For future reference, showing actual commands with their
actual output can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.  For example:

      tcpip show version

> [...] What exactly are you doing different. [...]

   Assuming that that was a question -- There's a mark for
that: "?" -- it's hard to say, because hardly anyone around
here is showing what he actually did, or what happened when
he did it.
