Couldn't you use the EXCHANGE utility under VMS?
I quote from VMS help:
EXCHANGE
The Exchange utility (EXCHANGE) allows you to manipulate mass
storage volumes written in formats other than those normally
recognized by OpenVMS.
Format
EXCHANGE command [file-spec] [file-spec]
EXCHANGE> command [file-spec] [file-spec]
The Exchange utility (EXCHANGE) also allows you to transfer
files to or from operating systems that do not support OpenVMS
file organizations (see /NETWORK).
Additional information available:
Parameters Usage_Summary COPY DELETE DIRECTORY
DISMOUNT
EXIT HELP INITIALIZE MOUNT RENAME SHOW TYPE
/NETWORK
EXCHANGE Subtopic?
