The pax command is a good choice because it can copy all files, directories, 
and symbolic links in a directory using a single command without overlaying any 
existing files.   For example:
cd /Service/ZOS113/var
pax -rvwk -pe * /var

Subject: rsync anyone?

Hi,  I have been working with IBM to identify how to move a USS directory that 
has files and subdirectories to a different LPAR.  They said Ported Tools and 
the scp command.  However, OpenSSH has had security issues IIRC.  The other 
thing they mentioned was to port rsync over to z/OS.  I also have directions on 
how to voice this as a requirement to USS development using the RFE process.

Q).  Does anyone have a better way to move a directory that has files and 
subdirectories to a different LPAR?  Or do you just keep installing the same 
code for each instance?

Q).  Is anyone requesting rsync for z/OS via RFE or working on a port for 
rsync?  We do not have shared DASD and need something.


      Thank you,  Dave
