Or you could tar the source directory and pipe the output to an "untar" command that specifies the desired destination. > I haven't been paying a much attention to this thread, but when copying a file system or from dir to dir on the same LPAR (or shared file systems within a sysplex) I often recommend copytree to people that aren't unix savvy. "cp" and pax are both options as mentioned, but you need to pay have the correct flags to get all the sub directories and preserve the file mode, owner info, date/time and other extended attributes (pgm control, apf, etc.). Assuming you have bpx.superuser authority, copytree will do all of this for you with simple syntax out having to know or understand all the pax or cp flag options. There are other flags, but "s" will set the euid to 0 if you have the auth and the syntax is: copytree -s fromdir todir copytree is a REXX exec and lives in /samples, so you can examine the source code for details if you wish, but there is a man page on it these days also.
