I offer this suggestion, in case it might (somewhat) address the
need/want for SCP btw VMS and linux, namely:
I found that the lftp client works (passably) well from the linux
side to/from VMS (for puts, gets, mget's, mputs).
# lftp 'sftp://username:password@host/device/dir/' -e 'mget
*THISTHAT* ; exit'
(in the above example, if public-key/password-less ssh btw the 2
systems is working, password is ignored.)
As ever, working out the best/proper syntax for wildcards can be a bit fussy
and. perhaps, there was a specific need for SCP in particular? (in
which case, I'm sorry, Never Mind)
Aside: It would be nice, if there was a way to force the VMS's STP
server to look like a unix-server (a feature similar to what Hunter
Goatley's HGFTP server has)
I tried 9 ways from Friday (special accounts. DECC$ logicals, trying
run GNV bash from login, etc)
but no dice, so far. up to Alpha VMS 8.3, tcpip 5.7 eco1 ...)
I have not tried doing the same with Multinet/Process Software on the
VMS side...

Hello,
well you might be able to not use your normal account for the transfer,
but a special one confined to a restricted shell (aka captive account for
the VMS only people on the list ;-)
If you do go down the http route, curl is available on VMS too for command
line access to http.
Greetings,
Martin
P.S. And yes, it is pretty annoying that scp is broken on VMS since a long
time

Hello,
a.) Agree with Craig on scp . If this is fixed either it is extremely
recent (doesn't work with 5.7 ECO 3) or it needs some additional magic.
b.) In case you just need to move around Perl source files, which are not
terribly secret, you could use FTP instead of scp. On the VMS side of the
house, the easiest way to do so is
The source files aren't terribly secret, but any password I need to log
into
the remote server I'm getting them from is. :-(
(Although therefore I could just serve them up over HTTP and solve it that
way)
