Question Large Data move from Win to AIX
Hi All,

I have a requirement to move a large amount of data *approx 160 GB* from a windows formatted SAN to AIX.

The data is made up of several hundred thousand small files.

Does anyone have a recommendation for the best tool or best procedure for this?

Regards,
Neil

There are a lot of threads that have dedicated themselves to this sort of topic.
Most recommend "rsync", "scp -r" or using "tar" piped through rsh or some similar network protocol.

If you want a fast, unsecured transfer, just do it via ftp. Without the encryption overhead, it should go alot faster. Please don't use FTP over a public network though.
