Thanks Doug, I like the q-pointer suggestion. We use q-pointers a lot for account-to-account file access on the same system but I have never created a q-pointer to a remote system. I could not find any documentation for remote q-pointers. Do you have an example?
Thanks, Bonnie :-) A smile is like a light in the window telling people you are home -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Doug Chanco Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 6:54 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] uucp While personally I like scp expecially when you get the keys setup and can scp files without the need for a passwd between systems Could you not use q pointers from one system to the other? We use this to copy data from a database items from one aix system to another The problem with scp is that it is not pick aware and copying a file while being updated is one way to get a corrupted database on the other server Dougc On Nov 20, 2009, at 11:37 AM, "Barber, Bonnie" <bonnie.bar...@perseusbooks.com > wrote: > Hi everyone.
