---------- From: SIMPKINS, Terry[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 1996 5:28 AM To: Multiple recipients of list HP3000-L Subject: ftp of PRIV files? We are trying to copy a large group of files from one machine to another (3000 -> 3000). Even though I am logged onto both machines as SM (has PM). I can't seem to copy PRIV files (DBs) across. The message I get is: 550 A privileged file code violation occurred. (FILE OPEN ERROR -463) Data Transfer Request Failed. (FTPERR 13) Terry, Ever hear of "sneakernet"? :-) Actually - I'm not kidding - the only ways I;ve been able to do that is to use DSCOPY with an open DSLINE, or, rely on good ol' tape. (Damned PRIV files anyway). Best Regards, Joe Geiser
