I think Bob meant you use DIR, COPY and so forth from the VAX. The only difference is you must use the "foreign file specification" syntax when naming files: Dir/Size/Date Amiga::"devs:printers/*" (note the quotes) that's all. All assigned Amiga logicals are recognized by the VAX. Programs on the VAX can access the Amiga file system transparently (thru the magic of DECnet). Specific utilities are used to access the VAX from the Amiga since the Amiga-DOS utilities don't recognize node names. There is the need to adding access control (usernames & passwords) to access the VAX.
