Re: How to FTP an IFS directory

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, Paul:

You may want to consider creating a save file and using the SAV command 
to save the directory and all its subdirectories and files, then use FTP 
to send the save file, then use the RST command to restore the entire 
directory subtree on the other system. This has the advantage of also 
preserving many attributes of the stream files, such as their object 
owners, etc.

HTH,

Mark
