Sorry, I responded without realizing others had already covered it. According to the man page, the target must be a directory for multiple file copies. That sounds like maybe it has to be a directory at a time, using hpcopy -m /sourcedir/* /targetdir I think the error messages are probably from leaving out the required [-m|-b|-t|-r|-a]. -- "The way the Romans made sure their bridges worked is what we should do with software engineers.
