*SAVE will work on Level 2 but of course it can't be used if the
file won't fit in RAM in one go.

The easiest way to shift a big file is to use *MOVE on the Master.  Make
sure you are logged onto the Net and that you are in the right drive
& directory on the DFS disc and then do:

*MOVE -DISC-bigfile -NET-bigfile

For more than one file you can try Copyfiles which you will find on the
Master Welcome disc and should be lurking about on the Level 2
server somewhere.

If you have an ARM Co-Pro handy then it's much faster as utilities like
Copyfiles (or *XFER in the ADT ROM) will use up all the available RAM
as a buffer.

Best wishes,



Ian

I feel a bit of an amateur asking this, but.....

How do you transfer a large-ish file from a DFS Beeb, across econet, to
a an account on another Beeb running fileserver level 2 ?

The file is 80k, therefore too large to fit in memory, but even if it
could I am not convinced that level 2 even supports *SAVE anyway!
So far have tried the copy utility on the Master welcome disk and this
does not seem to work.

Any ideas ?

Chris.
