Why tar it if it's only one file. That'll add more data to the file. Just zip/compress it and copy it. You can zip it on the fly to save time like this...

ftp -n <<!
open remote_host_name
user user_name password
bin
put "| gzip < source_file" destination_file !

If you don't have gzip, use compress instead.

Hi all,
I want to copy a 1.6GB data from one unix machine to another unix machine.Since one machine is in India and the other one in europe it is taking quite a longer time to copy.

Can any one of you suggest me the best and fastest way of doing this?There is no much time in hand.Quick replies will put me out of trouble.

thanks in advance

Tar and compress the file and ftp it to the other site. Uncompress and untar the file on the other side. It shouldn't be a problem.
