The problem with doing that is that there are over 2500 files scattered among many directories. Has anyone experienced this before and written some code to traverse the directory structure to find and convert files of a specified file extension?

This usually means making a copy of the tree since you probably don't want to break the production system. -----Original Message----- From: SOLLENBERGER, JUSTIN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 8:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: web server proof of concept - code set translation problem We are moving a website from USS to a Redhat image and are running into a problem transferring the data over. 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.
