Re: Error copying documents

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What do you mean by "one off"?

It is not a singular document I need to copy, but a whole directory of
documents.  Not copying it out of QDLS is not possible.

Basically, it is QDLS/PMSNOTES.CLM/

I am trying to pull down the whole PMSNOTES.CLM directory and all the files
and subdirectories under it.  Several gigabytes of data.
