Subject:        Any success storing via FTP to a fileserver?

My current employer has an HP-3000 927LX running MPE/ix 5.0
and the business also has a huge TCP/IP network with a high performance
Unix fileservers.

So I have had this lazy idea: Why not back up the HP by storing files on one
of the employer's fileservers?

I know that both the HP and the fileservers are physically connected by
ethernet, both run TCP/IP transport protocol, both have a FTP program, and
on the fileserver side, there is support for NFS, a file server protocol.

What I would like to do is write a file equate like file t;dev=??? and then
send the entire store data stream over to a fileserver.

So here is the invitation: Could you please help me understand the concept and
missing pieces to do this? Have you done something like this at your site?

This is a tantalizing situation,  any suggestion and comment?

Thank you, Lee McKusick ([log in to unmask])
