The only way that comes to mind requires the use of Vesoft's MPEX:
 
1. Use MPEX to change the file code of the root file and the datasets to
non-negative values.
 
2. Use FTP, binary transfer, to move the files to your destination site.
 
3. Use MPEX, at the destination site, to change the file codes back to their
proper settings (-400 for the root file and -401 for the datasets).
 
 
If, on the other, hand you have a dsline connection between the two machines
then using DSCOPY may be simpler:
 
1. Establish a session on one machine (M1)
 
2. Establish a DS session on the second machine (M2)
 
3. Issue the following commands to copy the rootfile and then the datasets:
        a. Dscopy dbroot;   :M2;fcode = -400
 
        b. Dscopy dbroot##; :M2;fcode = -401
 
Note!  In the event that your database has more than 99 datasets then you may
have to replace the '##' in the second Dscopy command with '??'
 
Hope this helps
