[U2] Can we use WIN.PCWRITE to copy binary files??
To All: We are trying to copy files from our AIX system using the Unidata WIN.PCWRITE script. The script comes with Wintegrate 4.2.1. Problem we are having is that we cannot copy binary files from the AIX side to the PC using this script. Has anyone gotten this work and are willing to share their secret?? Thanks! Frank ___ Frank M.

BF I am trying to get around this! it does depend on your setup. for example on the SunOS box i am currently working on, since i have rights to the data already i have FTP access. Since I am not the administrator I don't know how they set that up but I am *sure* that they don't set up the FTP for each user. have you tried to FTP to the box? -- DSig ` David Tod Sigafoos ( O O ) ___oOOo__( )__oOOo___ When i'm good, i'm good.

WIN.PCWRITE script. The script comes with Wintegrate 4.2.1. Problem we are having is that we cannot copy binary files from the AIX side to the Caveat... I am running UV and am using wIntegrate 5.1.1. Having said that, WIN.PCWRITE works well enough for me, but because the script has some hard-coded numbers in it, if you specify a file name longer than 19 characters you will end up missing blocks of data in your file, and the file might even be empty or very short. Actually, that figure of 19 varies slightly depending on what kind of wIntegrate 'conversion' you specify. And by file name, I don't mean the actual name on disk of the file, but the variable name that you pass to WIN.PCOPEN when opening the file. If you write your own routines based on the lower level methods that the WIN.* scripts use, you can increase file transfer rates significantly. You can look at the records in the WIN.PROGS file to see how these routines work, and the Client Scripting Reference is available on-line. I use my own routine now, and am much happier with the performance. Barry --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
