Here's the situation. We have a mainframe here that sends data via FTP to our FTP server (FreeBSD) for base dissemination. The caveat is this; it outputs the data in DOS pathname construction, (i.e. data\filepath\filename) which our ftp server views as a single long filename. Our NT admin claims that NT can be set to either, so naturally I assumed that there must be some way to enable a UNIX FTP server to accept or alter DOS based pathnames. Please don't tell me NT can do this (however moronic it is) and UNIX can't. BTW, I already asked if the mainframe could be re-programmed. Apparently it's too old and no one wants to mess with it.
