The only way I know of is to convert the text files before you tar them up (with iconv). This usually means making a copy of the tree since you probably don't want to break the production system.

I'm more familiar with the Unix side of things and assumed this would just involve a simple tar, ftp, and untar of the data. Unfortunately I'm running into a problem with the different code sets. Doing the basic tar/untar leaves all of my text files corrupt and if I issue a: pax ofrom=IBM-1047,to=ISO8859-1 -wLf source,pax -noext dir the binary files are then corrupt. Does anyone know of a way to transfer over all the files and do the proper code set translation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
