As far as the bootable cd - you should have bootable cd's. SUN supplies the software on cd - At least two should be bootable (Solaris 7 and above). If you didn't get these when you purchased, complain to the folks you purchased from. If you lost them, complain to SUN and usually you can get new copies.

If you are just trying to make copies - sorry, don't know. Our company has always had so many copies that we end up sending them out as part as our D/R plan.


FTP across directories - not sure what you need or want.
If you want to build a exact copy from one system to another - ftp will not build directories but you can tar the structure and files and ftp the tar file (suggest compression be used) and then extract the tar file on the other side. You might be able to build the directory structure by using a ftp client such as cuteFTP but I can't say for sure.

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
