Transfer from CERNVM to a Unix workstation

On CERNVM type the following:

CMS FTP workstation
ftp> BIN F 4096     ! block size in bytes
ftp> PUT file.hbook

Running FTP on a VAX/VMS systen

$ ftp remote
ftp> bin
ftp> get remote.hbook
ftp> quit
$ resize -s 4096 remote.hbook;1

The resize command does not copy the file. It simply changes the header information, from 512 byte records to 4096 bytes. In case the block size of the HBOOK file is not 1024 words (LREC parameter of routine HROPEN), i.e. 4096 bytes, specify the corresponding value as parameter to the resize command.

The resize tool is available on request from the CERN Program Library.
