Greetings,
I have a problem ( don't we all ;>  )

I regularly need to move binary files from my PC to our DEC-ALPHA.
The files in question need to be stored as
	Record format:      Fixed length 64 byte records

but when I FTP (mput) them they are stored (on the ALPHA) as:
	Record format:      Variable length, maximum 0 bytes, longest 512 bytes

I am thus looking a solution to this problem.....  I am guessing that the
STRUCT (or STRU) command might be the answer.

The only ON-LINE help I have been able to get is
	1) PC (remotehelp):
		214 Syntax: STRU <sp> File | Record
	2) ALPHA ?
		struct          set file transfer structure
	3) SUN (unix)
		 struct [ struct-name ]
		    Set the file structure to struct-name.  The only  valid
		    struct-name  is  file, which corresponds to the default
		    file structure.  The implementation only supports file,
		    and requires that it be specified.
 			--------------------------------------------------------

I have tried the following command from my pc after having made an ftp
connection to our ALPHA

	quote STRU fixed | 64
		(is this the right command to issue???????)

The response to this command is:

	200 STRU set to FILE structure.

So at least the syntax of this part seems Okay;

BUT what next.....

If I now use the mput command to push a file to the alpha the file
structure remains as before at
 	Record format:      Variable length, maximum 0 bytes, longest 512 bytes

Any suggestions???????????????????
