% You may use "rexec" from W2K to remotely start a process on
% a Linux box and then redirect the output to a file, like this:
%
%   C:\Temp>rexec p92 "cd /local;tar cbf 64 - pst" > here.tar
%   Name (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
%   Password (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
%   C:\Temp>dir here.tar
%   Medium in Drive C: No designation
%   Medium srl. no.: 582D-A5D8
%   Directory C:\Temp
%   20.11.2003  14:17        2.462.627.947 here.tar
%               1 File(s)    2.462.627.947 Bytes
%               0 Directory 46.868.381.696 Bytes free
%   So it's bigger than 2 GB.Hi Dragan,can you please try to rexec a five (5)
gigabyte file?I'm wondering what's happening then....Regards
