Thanks to all.

Since the files we need to move are huge, we're going to store to disc using orbit, then FTP the orbit file to the remote box, and restore using olddate.

The problem is that we have utilities that perform various things on the files based upon the create dates of the files, and both NBCOPY and DSCOPY build NEW files on the remote box which show the current create date rather than the original create date of the copied file [and yes, I realize that this is as it should be :-)].  So, does anyone know of a way (other than STORE/RESTORE) around this (a way to have the create-date of the source file be the create-date of the new file)?
