I FTP these files all the time between HP3000s, there is no need to change the filecode.  (Yes, even though they are PRIV.)



You only have to make sure your FTP is set to binary before you do your PUT or GET.



I also either run GOD beforehand, or make sure I'm the Creator in the Account where the files are.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Orbit Software Backups



Using Orbit BPL backup, 



Trying to find a solution to a problem.



When backing up to a disk drive e.g.



:listf@,2

ACCOUNT=  SYS         GROUP=  BACKUP  



FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----

                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX



FULL0000  PRIV   8192W  FB        1719     131071   1   110592 57  *

FULL0001  PRIV   8192W  UB      131072     131072   1  8388608  *  *

FULL0002  PRIV   8192W  UB       50860      50860   1  3255040  *  *



how can I get these backup files transferred to another machine using ftp so I can unload them using BPL?



Tried using Vesoft to change the file code to 1, transfer the file using ftp to the other HP3000 machine, and the change the code back to code -951 (?? somebody else did it) but can not read it.



Anybody have any clue's?



Thanks
