ONE way to transfer files between Aegis systems without danger of changing
the file type or its contents is to use the archive features of WBAK, and
then FTP the file to its destination. At the other end, you extract the
file from its archive. Example:

WBAK filename -to archive_filename -type hdru

This encapsulates the file so FTP will not change attributes or contents.

At the other end, type

RBAK -from archive_filenam

We have used this method to successfully transfer all types of files and
complete directories.
