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.
