We have a process that transfers thousands of files from a Linux guest in one LPAR to a CMS file in another. The process, following a successful logon, goes like this:
Cd dir1 Mget *.* (replace Cd dir2 Mget * * (replace Cd dir3 Mget * * (replace The entire process is done via VMFTP. It takes a long time to transfer all of the files. I read somewhere that a new data path is created for each file. This appears to be where the time is being spent. Is there any was to cut down on or eliminate this time? It would seem to me to be much more efficient if all of the data were transferred over the same path without all of the reconnecting. In this case, the target disk is a large V-disk that has nothing on it. The files get molested and moved to a more permanent residence after all have been obtained. Regards, Richard Schuh
