Appends a remote file to a file on the local host. AGET is a synonym for APPEND GET. See APPEND GET for more information.

AGET remote_file [local_file]

Appends remote_file from the remote host to local_file on the local host. APPEND uses the current settings for type, mode, and structure during file transfers. APPEND GET is the same as AGET and APPEND RECEIVE.

APPEND GET remote-file [local-file]

remote_file - Specifies the name of the file on the remote host from which to copy.

local_file - Specifies the name of a file on the local host to which the file is to be appended.

• Use this command only when connected to a remote host.
• Most remote hosts require that you log in before using the GET command.
• You cannot use the APPEND GET command in STRUCTURE VMS mode. If you try to do this, FTP toggles temporarily into STRUCTURE FILE mode for the transfer.

This example shows how to append a remote file to a file on the local host.

Detaches the terminal from the calling process and reattaches it to another process. Use the SPAWN SHOW PROCESS /SUBPROCESSES command to list the names of subprocesses. Use the DCL LOGOUT command to return to the original process. If the MULTINET_DISABLE_SPAWN logical is enabled, ATTACH does not work.

ATTACH process-name

process_name - Specifies the name of a process to which you want your terminal attached. (Not all subprocesses can be attached; some testing may be required.)
