NCOPY(1)

NAME
       ncopy - NetWare file copy

SYNOPSIS
       ncopy -V

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

       ncopy [ -vn ] [ -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.

       -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)

BUGS
       ncopy  cannot  recurse into directories.  Does not work on
       NetWare volumes mounted with the -V option to ncpmount.
