... This section describes how to copy a file between two VMS systems using the COPY command, and between a VMS system and another computer using FTP or Kermit. Remote file access may be made on either the file or record level, but only file level access is discussed here. To access a file, you use normal VMS commands, such as COPY or TYPE , but you specify the file name differently. ... It is also possible to automate your file transfers using scripts in conjunction with the Kermit TAKE command. ...
