copying .profile files to a new server (SCO)

Hello Intelligent Life Forms (I hope)

This should be a snap for some of you.
I need to copy the /usr .profiles from 1 sco system to another.
Migrating to a new server.

I've tried a recursive copy to the target system with a NFS mount point from the source. Wouldn't do it permissions problem.

Tried creating a tar file from the source /usr/file but again got a permissions error on the restore. But only for the file I needed, .profile, all other files restored to the target. Most of the .profile files I see have permissions set to -rw--r--r.

The only way I was able to push one of the .profile files across was logging into the source system and ftp'ing it to the target. Too many usrs on the system to make this practical.
Please send help,
Thanks

UUCP(1C)																  UUCP(1C)

NAME
uucp, uulog - unix to unix copy SYNOPSIS
uucp [ option ] ... source-file ... destination-file uulog [ option ] ... DESCRIPTION
Uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the destination-file argument. A file name may be a path name on your machine, or may have the form system-name!pathname where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which uucp knows about. Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname part will be expanded on the appropriate system. Pathnames may be one of(1) a full pathname; (2) a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on the specified system and is replaced by that user's login directory; (3) anything else is prefixed by the current directory. If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system the copy will fail. If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of the source-file name is used. Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)). The following options are interpreted by uucp. -d Make all necessary directories for the file copy. -c Use the source file when copying out rather than copying the file to the spool directory. -m Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete. Uulog maintains a summary log of uucp and uux(1) transactions in the file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering information from partial log files named `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'. It removes the partial log files. The options cause uulog to print logging information: -ssys Print information about work involving system sys. -uuser Print information about work done for the specified user. FILES
/usr/spool/uucp - spool directory /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files SEE ALSO
uux(1), mail(1) D. A. Nowitz, Uucp Implementation Description WARNING
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted. You will very likely not be able to fetch files by pathname; ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you. For the same reasons you will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames. BUGS
All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp. The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a single file. (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters ?*[] will not activate the -m option.) UUCP(1C)
