The problem here is that the VAX implementation requires a specific
record structure which does not exist in other implementations. Its
rather messy and I have never been able to reformat a file directly.
I have always ended up converting folded source to `normal' text format
then transferring that. You then have to re-fold the file and compile
on the VAX. Its all because VAX files are stored as records and not as
an arbitrary sequence of bytes.
