    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------
Dave called complaining about ftp on vms v7.1.  He's coping a bunch of 
files from a unix system to vms using mget.  He's doing copies by file type 
(ie; mget *.h)
When he does this, ftp copies the files, but names them filename.;1   
I suggested trying to mget without any file specifier and it did the same 
thing.  Then we tried mget *.h *.h (thinking we could force the extension).  
When we did this, ftp created one set of files with filename.;1 again, and 
then created a second set of files with the correct .h extensions.  
We got a work around, but I told him I would check to see if anyone
reported similar peculiar behaviors with ucx.

|     that's the documented behavior.  Suggest mget from the unix machine
    instead of mput on the VMS machine.
