RE: Large volume file move

I'm not sure it's going to matter. The performance bottleneck will be the
LAN between them anyway. The WinSCP and FileZilla will both give you an
idea where the process is at.

Richard is correct about the ownership issue as well. That's going to
affect save security and a number of other functions as well. If the
directory structure is relatively flat, I think you're going to find the
performance of the IFS to be an issue.

Another option I just thought of is rsynch, although you'd have to port that
yourself, IBM has not done that as yet. I've not checked to see if Perlz
has it done or not.

I assume WinSCP is a Windows scp utility. Is there any benefit to having
Windows drive this?

I've switched to WinSCP from FileZilla. Easier, faster, and less error
prone. But the speed of the transfer is more than likely going to be a
function of the software that moves it.

I might suggest if you use NSF that you first create all the directory
structure. Then build a script to start with the folder at the bottom of
the list and start moving up the structure moving several folders at once.
That way you'll move as much as possible, restart is easy and you can
monitor progress.

Both WinSCP and FileZilla will approximate that function for you.
