Those extended attributes are not copied when using cut/paste... To move source and objects while retaining all attributes, you *could* use iSeries Projects.
Once you have created a project and added all items to it, switch to the iSeries Projects view, and edit properties for your project. Select "iSeries project" in the properties list, and change your connection to another server and/or library. Close.
Now you should be able to push changes to that server. Change the iSeries project to connect to other servers as needed...

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Moving save files and source members
I spoke too soon. I can move the source members from one server to the other, but the text descriptions keep getting stripped out.
Here's exactly what I'm doing:
1. I created a source physical file on system A called MYLIBA/MYSRCA.
2. I created a source physical file on system B called MYLIBB/MYSRCB.
3. I have a filter in RSE for library MYLIBA on system A. I expand the filter until I can see the individual source members in MYLIBA\MYSRCA.
4. I right-click on the source member and choose "Copy."
5. I have another filter in RSE for library MYLIBB on system B. I expand the filter until I can see the MYLIBB/MYSRCB file.
6. I right click on MYLIBB/MYSRCB and select "Paste."
7. The source member from system A is copied into the source file on system B. However, the source files on system B no longer have text descriptions.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Kelly

Excellent! I created a personal library on each system for my installs. The library contains a source physical file member (for all source members I want to transfer) and a save file (for the compiled program objects to transfer). I then created a filter on each system for my install library. I can drag and drop the members and save file between systems.
Thanks,
Kelly

Actually, just tried copy & pasting a SAVF.
Seemed to work fine.
Again, the trick is RSE has to know where you want it. So you'd have
to have a library filter set up so you could use a specific library as
the target of the paste.
I simply copied & pasted a save file from QGPL using the built in
"Library List" filter.

For source member, you can simply copy & past in RSE. Note that you
must past into a specific source file. So for example, if you have a
member filter, you can't past into it. But if you've got an object
filter set up to show just source file you can use those source files
as targets of the paste.
Not sure about save files....
You might be able to treat them as a binary files through the IFS
Files subtree. I know I've used that to move ASCII files from my PC
to a folder in the IFS.

We have two IBM i servers, one for development and one for production.
We normally use the SNDNETF and WRKNETF commands to move save files and
source members from one server to the other.
I have connections defined for both servers in RDi. However, I have not
figured out a good way to get save files and source members moved from
one server to the other.
What is a good way to move save files and source members from one server
to another using RDi?
Thanks,
