NCOPY(1)			     ncopy			      NCOPY(1)

NAME
       ncopy - NetWare file copy

SYNOPSIS
       ncopy -V

       ncopy [ -vmMnpptu ] [ -s amount ] file destinationfile|directory

       ncopy [ -vmMnpptu ] [ -s amount ] file1 [ file2 ... ] directory

       ncopy -r [ -vmMnpptu ] [ -s amount ] srcdir dstdir

DESCRIPTION
       With  ncopy  you can copy files to different locations on a single Net‐
       Ware file server without generating excess network traffic.   The  pro‐
       gram  uses  a  NetWare function to do the copy rather than transferring
       the file across the network 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/cre‐
	  ates 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 direc‐
	  tory	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 volume to real
	  MAC multiple-forks  file,  you  must	first  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 people 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 preserved, not ID.

       -r
	  Perform recursive copy.

       -u
	  Perform copy only if mtime or size differs.

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