Hello Steve, Are you setting the FTP transfer process to binary mode before doing the transfer?
What versions of UniVerse or UniData? Any compatible tape device between the servers? Have you tried a process similar to the following: 1) creating a type 1 file 2) copying data from larger distributed file to the type 1 file 3) compress the type 1 file 4) ftp using binary mode 5) uncompress on new server 6) manually create the new larger distributed file 7) copy from the Type 1 file to the newly created distributed file That is one approach - can probably come up with a few other ideas. I am local to you in the greater Boston area, and have some expertise in server migrations and U2 environments. Can I be of some assistance?
