Hi,

I have searched and searched and have not found a satisfactory answer to this question:

How can I efficiently copy files from my host system to unix version 6 running in the pdp11 emulator and from unix 6 to my host system?
I usually do this by just tar'ing to/from a disk file, something like:

on pdp11: tar cf /dev/rxp0c myfiles
on host: tar xf simh-disk-file

Works both ways :-)

Hi,

This sounded promising, but as it turns out there appear to be 2 problems... 1. v6 doesn't have tar, and 2. it looks like v6 doesn't have rx device support (floppies). Are you using v6 with tweaks, or v7, or some other variant of unix?
Hm, it was some time ago, but I think it was tar.  Otherwise try cpio?
You do not have to use floppies. rxp is the raw device for rp disks (avoids caching). Just work against that file.
