We've had to do the same thing here from an HP3000 to an HP3000 for Borland's Interbase. First Interbase requires that we make a "transportable" copy of the database. Then we FTP it over to the other machine. Then it is read into the Interbase from the FTP'd copy. Since we're also Powerhouse users, non-Interbase files in the dictionary were QTP'd into portable subfiles, then those were FTP'd over and converted back as well. ---------- From: owner-hp3000-l To: Multiple recipients of list HP3000-L Subject: can you FTP a database? Date: Thursday, September 26, 1996 8:28AM 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.
