Can you send a copy of your *ftp ...* buffer when this happens.
Sounds like this is a bug in the FTP server. The VMS FTP server that
I use (Multinet) does not allow renames of the sort that you are
trying to do. I don't recall the exact way that it bombs at the
moment.
I'm not sure what a "bad beep" is. Or more precisely, what's a good
beep? ;-) From your backtrace, it looks like efs is upset because a
file that the server promised to send was not sent as advertized.
