The Question is:

 
Hello,
 
I have completed loading ucx4.2 in openvms 6.1 vax 4050 harrdware

$ UCX$CONFIG.COM for configuring the system.
ucx services is running. Iam able to telnet from windows 95 mechine. i.e telnet
 is working.
If I go to sys$system directory and type $ucx$ftp.exe system is going to ftp>.
 
My problem is these symbols(logicals) are not working.
from $ prompt iam not able to goto ftp> prompt by typing "ftp". pls give me
 solution to activate ucx logicals.
 
 
thanking you

The Answer is :

 
  It would appear your version of TCP/IP Services was not correctly
  installed, or you have not reloaded the command tables since the
  installation.  (Log out and back in, or reboot the system, or use
  the SET COMMAND/TABLES=SYS$SHARE:DCLTABLES to reload the DCLTABLES.)
 
  On OpenVMS versions prior to V6.2, access to the FTP client is
  via the FTP command, which involves the FTP utility.
 
  With OpenVMS V6.2 and later, you can use COPY/FTP, DIRECTORY/FTP
  and similar commands.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard will assume you have configured FTP client and/or
  FTP server, as required.
