Re: FTP files in their directory structure from HFS to AIX

How about creating a tar file containing all of your directories & files,
transferring that, then untarring it ?

Subject: FTP files in their directory structure from HFS to AIX


Dear Fellow Listers,

I have the need for transferring a set of files in a
directory structure a
number of levels deep from HFS on mainframe to a file system
on an AIX box.
From one run to the next of the application that produces
these files and
directory structure, there may be a different number of files
and different
levels in the directory structure.

I need to control the sending from the mainframe.

Regular FTP and mput * does indeed transfer all the files,
but none of the
directories; I end up with all files (regardless of where
they live in the
input directory structure) in the root level of the
destination. Not what I
want...

I know, I could write a REXX to surf the directory tree and
create all the
required commands (mkdir, cd, lcd, put etc.) to copy
everything over, but I
would like to avoid that if possible.

Would any of you know a way to fulfil my need?

All tips and hints appreciated.

Cheers,

Jantje.
