Currently you can't do a recursive copy between linux and VMS. What I tend to do
is to create a saveset on the VMS side and copy that to/from  Linux as one file.

To be honest it will need some fairly fancy coding to get fal & dncopy to
understand and use VMS wildcards correctly and translate them into something
Linux can use.

dndel will /probably/ work for recursive deletions if you use the VMS [...]
syntax because it doesn't actually care about any Linux equivalent filename.
