I've used pax to archive (aka zip/tar) => transmit => unpax and for a whole File System dfDSS copy of FS to archive => transmit => restore FS
Transmit can mean FTP of the intermediate file or using a shared volume For routine copies, one could include a job routed (via jes) to the other system to unpack. But - are there FTP command parms that would copy the Unix files directly and retain all attributes? (no intermediate pax/dss file).
