Hi Pete, > Could you clarify what you mean by "directory copies"? (Including example > syntax for the xrdcp command.) You use the cp semantics. If the source is a directory, you copy everything in the directory. Now, cp is a bit less clever since it follows any symlinks in the directory as well (that's only relevant when the source is the client). > But there is no way to avoid "not being completely satisfying", is there? I suppose not, but one should make these decisions in a very determined way. > So the server doesn't take care of this itself, but 'xrdcp' _could_ be > setup to create the paths automatically. Is that the proposal? Yes. Andy
