Not directly.  The current FTP product does not support transferring of
privileged files (HP says that this is about to change).  There are,
however, a round about way of doing it.

1.  You could use the 'mover.prvxl.telesup' utility to place the database
into a 'truck' file, FTP the 'truck' to the other machine and use 'mover'
to unpack the 'truck'

2.  You could do the same thing using 'LZW' from telamon

3.  If you have MPEX or some other utility that can change the file code of
a file, you could change the file codes of the root and dataset files to
the corresponding positive number, use FTP to transfer the files and then
change the file codes back to their proper values. (on both machines!).

Hope this helps

Basically that's the question.  I don't have NS/DS between my
computers, and I need to copy a database over.  I can start up the FTP
stuff, but I'm not really familiar with it, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
