Hello,
Ibm trying to copy all the contents of "/root/var/namedb from a remote
OpenBSD3.8 DNS server to my local PC. I am using WinSCP for file transfer. I
have found that I am unable to download some of the directories:

/root/var/named/etc
/root/var/named/log
/root/var/named/slave

I do not know OpenBSD or Unix but I can use Putty to login to the console as a
member of the wheel group then I can type su b to execute commands as root.

I was told that I should copy the etc, log, and slave directories to my local
user directory, then I would be allowed to download them using WinSCP.

I do not know the commands to copy a whole directory. Can anyone help? I want
to make sure that when the copies end up in my home directory, they no longer
have bwhatever restrictions" are keeping me from downloading them from where
the originals are at now.

Thanks very much for any help
