We're running...

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.5
on an AlphaServer DS15 running OpenVMS V8.2

Is there a SFTP client for Mac OS X or Windows that works properly with the
SFTP "server" that comes bundled with this version of TCP/IP Services? I
have
tried Fetch v5.2 (on the Mac) and CoreFTP (under Windows) and both have
"issues" presenting things from the server properly. Is there any hope for
proper presentation of ODS-5 volumes?

I've been using SFTP from Mac OS X without a problem now that I got to
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.4 - ECO 6. Before that,
an EXIT at the SFTP prompt would hang the client up.

What is it that doesn't see to be working?

FWIW, Fetch v5.3 behaves the same. The behavior with Fetch is at
least a little better than CoreFTP, which doesn't present any file listing.
Fetch doesn't know the difference between a folder and a file, though, at
least going by the icons it uses to present the server contents. (The icons
for files and folders seem to be assigned randomly by Fetch.) The same VMS
server accessed via conventional FTP from either client is fine.

I suspect by "SFTP from Mac OS X" you are referring to a command line
client. Unfortunately, our end-users don't typically know what a command line
is, so we need to have a GUI-based client. While conventional FTP works, the
"powers that be" have mandated that any uploads to a "critical" Web server be
encrypted.
