SFTP2, SCP2, SFTP-SERVER2, and SCP-SERVER1 use SRI mapping to preserve case and characters that are not valid in filenames on OpenVMS ODS-2 disks.
OpenVMS disk filenames can be 39 characters long (as can file extensions) and include only the following characters:
0 through 9, A through Z, dollar sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore (_)
Table A-1 shows the default SRI International mapping.

The SRI mapping filename translation rules in Table A-2 are based on the character mapping scheme in Table A-2..
Table A-2 SRI Mapping Filename Translation Rules
|
Rule |
What happens to filenames from NFS to OpenVMS... |
|
1 |
Lowercase characters become uppercase (unless Rule 2 applies; see also Rule 3): foobar.txt becomes FOOBAR.TXT;1 |
|
2 |
Initial uppercase characters or a sequence of case-shifted characters get a $ prefix: CaseShiftedFile becomes $C$ASE$S$HIFTED$F$ILE.;1 |
|
3 |
An unversioned file gets a version number preceded by a semicolon: foobar.txt becomes FOOBAR.TXT;1 |
|
4 |
If a filename does not include a file extension dot (.), it gets one before the version number semicolon: foobar becomes FOOBAR.;1 |
|
5 |
The first dot in a filename is preserved, unless the result fails the 39-character extension limit test in Rule 5 (if so, the dot becomes $5N). Each successive dot becomes $5N, unless the filename exceeds the limits in Rule 5. more.file.txt becomes MORE.FILE$5NTXT;1 |
|
6 |
If the filename is a directory name, each dot in it becomes $5N and the filename gets the .DIR extension: dot.directory.list becomes DOT$5NDIRECTORY$5NLIST.DIR;1 |
|
7 |
Invalid OpenVMS characters become the escape character sequences in the second column of TableA-1 ($ followed by a digit and a letter): special#character&file becomes SPECIAL$5CCHARACTER$5FFILE.;1 (# becomes $5C and & becomes $5F) |
|
8 |
Any existing $ becomes $$ (plus any $ added due to Rule 2 or 8 above): dollar$Sign$5cfile becomes DOLLAR$$$S$IGN$$5CFILE.;1 |
