No, transfering a whole file is a single stream of stuff; reading individual records is a more complex handshake.  And apart from that, things get significantly simpler if you only support Sequential files.  Simpler still if you limit it to just two cases: fixed:512, and stream.

Alas, that means most text files on VMS won’t be transferred since they are record based.

Same story with RSX, and even more so. And not just text files.

Can you get EDT or TPU to emit stream files?

Not in RSX, you can't...
