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.

Richard Schuh
