Re: FTP Exports

Another idea is to:

1. Tail the src and tgt file tail -2 expdat.dmp EXIT EXIT
2. ls -l src and tgt file to get file size

And compare these results, if the same then a good transfer.

FWIW, in terms of transferring large files, I'm all about using rsync whenever possible simply because you can just keep re-running the same command until it finally transfers. rsync's site has builds for most *nix's and google on "rsync windows" will lead to the various windows builds that are out there.
