DESCRIPTION

20       With  ncopy  you can copy files to different locations on a single Net‐
21       Ware file server without generating excess network traffic.   The  pro‐
22       gram  uses  a  NetWare function to do the copy rather than transferring
23       the file across the network for both the read and write.
24
25       If the last argument is a directory, ncopy will copy the source file(s)
26       into  the directory.  If only two files are given and the last argument
27       is not a directory, it will copy the source  file  to  the  destination
28       file.
29
30       If  the source and destination files are not on the same NetWare server
31       (or are not on NetWare servers at all), ncopy will  do  a  normal  file
32       copy.

OPTIONS

35       -V
36          Show version number and exit
37
38       -v
39          Verbose copy.  Will show current file and percentage completion.
40
41       -m
42          Copy  MAC resource fork. Copies MAC resource fork together with data
43          fork.
44
45       -M
46          Copy MAC resource fork to/from non-MAC filesystem.  It  expects/cre‐
47          ates resource forks in subdirectory .rsrc of each directory copied.
48
49          If  you want to copy files from MAC volume to .rsrc scheme, you must
50          specify both options, -mM. It is not possible to create .rsrc direc‐
51          tory  on  MAC-aware  volume in one step, you must first copy data to
52          non-MAC media using ncopy -mM and then copy them  back  using  ncopy
53          -M.
54
55          If  you  want  to copy files from .rsrc scheme on MAC volume to real
56          MAC multiple-forks  file,  you  must  first  copy  data  to  non-MAC
57          filesystem using ncopy -M and then copy them back using ncopy -mM.
58
59       -n
60          Nice  NetWare  copy.  Will sleep for a second between copying blocks
61          on the NetWare server.  Gives other people a chance to do some  work
62          on the NetWare server when you are copying large files.  This has no
63          effect if you are not copying on a NetWare server.
64
65       -s amount
66          Nice time slice factor.  Used in conjunction  with  the  -n  option,
67          this  specifies  the  number of 100K blocks to copy before sleeping.
68          Default is 10. (1 Megabyte)
69
70       -p
71          Preserve file attributes and date/time during copy.
72
73       -pp
74          Preserve file attributes, date/time and owner during copy.  Name  of
75          owner is preserved, not owner ID.
76
77       -t
78          Preserve trustees during copy. Trustee name is preserved, not ID.
79
80       -r
81          Perform recursive copy.
82
83       -u
84          Perform copy only if mtime or size differs.

BUGS

88       ncopy does not preserve long (MAC, NFS, FTAM, OS2) names during copy.
