Ok. I read the bookreader book "DEC TCP/IP Services for VMS Use" and in
particular section
4.4 Using FTP from a command procedure.  It even gave an example:

FTP
Connect "harry"
LOGIN=(USER_NAME="myusername",PASSWORD=mypassword)

None of which worked.  It connected fine, once the quote marks were
removed from around the
node name.  The session went:

$set verify
$@ftp.com
$FTP
connect estwm8
220 ESTWM8 FTP Server (UCX Version 2.0) Ready.
Connected to ESTWM8.
LOGIN=(USER_NAME="hevans",PASSWORD=mypassword)
%CLI-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters
 \=\
dir
425 Not logged in.
exit
$EXIT

So, what is going on? Does this "feature" really work or is the manual
ahead of the software?

Hugh.

P.S. I also tried it without the '=' and it still didn't work.
