UniData Release 5.1 Build: (2192)
DEC UNIX

Due to lack of disk space on volume that my main account runs. I want
to copy data to another local volume as text data to be FTPed to a
windows box.
My attempts so far:
I tried creating a link at the unix level. Then used the SETFILE
command to create a VOC entry.
I have setup a new UNIDATA account on that volume and creted the a
DIR file. then went back to my main account and used SETFILE.

The command I'm running is.
LIST ADDRESS ADD1 ADD2 CITY STATE ZIP TO FLAT.FILE/ADDRESS.TXT

And the message I get is.
Cannot open FLAT.FILE/ADDRESS.TXT

I have also tried to AE the VOC manually instead of using SETFILE to no
avail.
I have tried adding the DELIM keyword with also.

Thanks

Chris;

I played around with this on Windows a while back. Simply by setting up a
VOC pointer I was able to copy all around the network.
eg. AE VOC BP.BACKUP
<1>DIR
<2>\\BACKUP\D\UNIDATA\BP
<3>D_VOC
This allowed me to copy items to a remote directory. Note this is with a
COPY and not a LIST TO. I think the LIST TO expects to put the file in the
local host OS file system. You may be able to put a fully qualified path
though - I can't remember if I tried.

I'm not sure if you want the LIST TO or you just think that may make things
easier. If you have trouble with the LIST TO a remote file you can either:
LIST TO a local file and copy/ftp; or setup the VOC pointer to a remote
directory and use the REFORMAT verb to only copy the parts of the items you
want.
