The Question is:

 
How can I FTP a previous version of a file residing on an Alpha to my PC.
 
The PC is the "client" and the Alpha is the "server".
 
Alpha specs:
 
 
   UCX = DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V4.2
         on a AlphaServer 2100 4/200 running OpenVMS V7.1
 
PC specs:
 
   FTP 5.00.2195.31
         Microsoft(R) Windows (R) 2000 Operating System

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact a Microsoft Wizard, as this question appears specific
  to the FTP client found on the Microsoft platform.
 
  Using the OpenVMS TCP/IP FTP client and the OpenVMS TCP/IP FTP Server,
  this activity is clearly directly possible, indicating both the OpenVMS
  FTP client and the OpenVMS FTP server provide the required support, and
  tending to point to the file requested by the FTP client on the Microsoft
  platform:
 
  From OpenVMS to OpenVMS:
 
FTP> get x.x;23
200 TYPE set to IMAGE.
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening data connection for ddcu:[dir]X.X;23 (w.x.y.z)
226 Transfer complete.
local: ddcu:[dir]X.X;23  remote: x.x;23
852 bytes received in 00:00:00.01 seconds (52.00 Kbytes/s)
