Jason,
i use this technique because its run overnight and no-one (i hope) is
using the remote servers
The remote servers have a list of what is to be transferred which i update
once each transfer has successfully completed.
If the connection fails part way through then its just a matter of rerunning
the job and it kicks off from where it was interrupted.
The file that i update on the remote server only holds the ids and filenames
of the records to be transferred.
So if it gets corrupted i can easily rebuild it.

Thanks, Peter and John.
Your suggestions to use pointers for remote file system probably will
work. One concern I have is the file locking.
According to the Universe Admin manual, ALLOWNFS allows opening files on
remote servers but no locks are maintained.
That may not be an issue if all we need to do is query data on the remote
server.
