ncopy - NetWare file copy
SYNOPSIS
ncopy -V
ncopy [ -vmMnppt ] [ -s amount ] file destination
file|directory
ncopy [ -vmMnppt ] [ -s amount ] file1 [ file2 ... ]
directory
DESCRIPTION
With ncopy you can copy files to different locations on a
single NetWare file server without generating excess net
work traffic. The program uses a NetWare function to do
the copy rather than transferring the file across the net
work for both the read and write.
If the last argument is a directory, ncopy will copy the
source file(s) into the directory. If only two files are
given and the last argument is not a directory, it will
copy the source file to the destination file.
If the source and destination files are not on the same
NetWare server (or are not on NetWare servers at all),
ncopy will do a normal file copy.
OPTIONS
-V
Show version number and exit
-v
Verbose copy. Will show current file and percentage
completion.
-m
Copy MAC resource fork. Copies MAC resource fork
together with data fork.
-M
Copy MAC resource fork to/from non-MAC filesystem. It
expects/creates resource forks in subdirectory .rsrc of
each directory copied.
If you want to copy files from MAC volume to .rsrc
scheme, you must specify both options, -mM. It is not
possible to create .rsrc directory on MAC-aware volume
in one step, you must first copy data to non-MAC media
using ncopy -mM and then copy them back using ncopy -M.
If you want to copy files from .rsrc scheme on MAC
copy data to non-MAC filesystem using ncopy -M and then
copy them back using ncopy -mM.
-n
Nice NetWare copy. Will sleep for a second between
copying blocks on the NetWare server. Gives other peo
ple a chance to do some work on the NetWare server when
you are copying large files. This has no effect if you
are not copying on a NetWare server.
-s amount
Nice time slice factor. Used in conjunction with the
-n option, this specifies the number of 100K blocks to
copy before sleeping. Default is 10. (1 Megabyte)
-p
Preserve file attributes and date/time during copy.
-pp
Preserve file attributes, date/time and owner during
copy. Name of owner is preserved, not owner ID.
-t
Preserve trustees during copy. Trustee name is pre
served, not ID.
BUGS
ncopy does not recurse into directories and does not pre
serve long (MAC, NFS, FTAM, OS2) names during copy.
