We have different types of UNIX computers, as well as Macintoshes and PCs in our company. How can we move files among these systems using high speed hard disks or SCSI removable-media drives?
A – The easiest way to accomplish this is to use TransferPro on all of the different UNIX computers, as well as on your PCs, and standardize on Macintosh disks. This allows you to have just one type of formatted disk, and still move files around, while retaining long file names. Top of page Q – I copied files from a Mac disk to UNIX using the u-Share Finder option mode. When I copy these files back to a Mac disk, they have the default type and creator of a text file. Why is this happening? A – The u-Share Mac file server does not use a magic number when storing files in the .rsrc directory. Therefore, TransferPro cannot automatically identify these files as u-Share files unless the user has checked the u-Share Finder Info Options button in the TransferPro Properties panel. If you have one of the other options selected, click the u-Share button and copy the files again.
