David, I don't have a VMS box to play with at the moment, but I guess that
the VMS file version might be causing the problem.

I'd suggest trying to get the latest version (no ';*') of "test.txt" and
see if that works. If it does, that might imply a problem with the fileset
regex evaluation, or something flaky with the processing of the remote dir
so that the file versions come back in a format that the FTP task or
fileset doesn't handle properly.
You might also try "test.txt*" or "test.txt.*" (I've seen the version
numbers returned as extensions like 'test.txt.1')
If you do a "dir" through FTP to the VMS box, what format is the listing
in? VMS "dir/full" or an "ls -l"?
I note that you're posting from yale - is this VMS system one I could
hit? I'd be willing to take a few stabs at it to see what is going on.
You may reply to me directly if you like.
