I am trying to compress some large files. I am compress them(2gb) and ftping them from a sun 5.8 box to a suse 7.0 box and when i uncompress them on the suse box i get an error: "write error ondump01.dmp: No such file or directory" my file was called dump01.dmp.Z I am not sure why this happened i was thinking because it was too big. It has happened to me before on really large files but not on small files. I was thinking of using bzip, but when i use bzip2 from the sun box it says it cant find the input file. Any ideas about how to get my dump files from one box to the next? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
