Yes, if the DIRECTORY or TODIRECTORY value in a FS COPY request contains
spaces, you should use the STAFUtil.wrapData() function to put them in a
colonLengthColon format. For example:
<script>
from com.ibm.staf import STAFUtil
</script>
<stafcmd name="'Perform directory copy via STAF service'">
<location>source_ip</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>
'COPY DIRECTORY %s TODIRECTORY %s TOMACHINE %s' % \
(STAFUtil.wrapData(source_path), STAFUtil.wrapData(dest_path),
dest_ip)
</request>
</stafcmd>
However, the problem is occurring because the file being copied is >= 4G.
Currently, STAF only handles copying files < 4G. We have a feature open
to provide support for copying files > 4G. We should make it clearer in
the STAF FAQ that copying a file >= 4G is not currently supported on any
machine (64-bit machines as well as 32-bit machines).

Re: [staf-users] FS service file size limits
According to my experience, the FSExt service requires that file/directory
name be in CLC (Colon Length Colon) format (if it contained spaces).
2008/10/13 Devvan Stokes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Here's the exact XML:
<stafcmd name="'Perform directory copy via STAF service'">
<location>source_ip</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>
'COPY DIRECTORY %s TODIRECTORY %s TOMACHINE %s' %
(source_path,dest_path, dest_ip)
</request>
</stafcmd>
In my case, the source and destination machines are the same - just a
local file copy (on Wink2k3 Server64).
The RC value logs as: 51
The STAFResult value logs as: [{'name': <full path of the directory that
I'm copying>, 'staf-map-class-name': 'STAF/Service/FS/ErrorInfo', 'osRC':
None, 'rc': '18'}]
51 indicates a copy error, and 18 indicates a read error. I should also
say that the directory and file in question are unremarkable, having only
basic alpha-numeric ASCII characters and spaces in their names.
Thank you.

Also, what is the exact FS COPY request that you are specifying? In
particular, are you copying a file to or from another machine? If so,
what operating system is on the other machine and is it the location of
the "from" file or the "to" file?

Re: [staf-users] FS service file size limits
What is the RC and error message that you get when the FS COPY request for
a 8GB sized file fails?

[staf-users] FS service file size limits
I believe I'm running into an issue of a file being too large for the FS
service to copy. Section 3.5.3. of the FAQ talks about the 4GB limit for
32-bit version of STAF, but I'm running the 64-bit version, and a file
copy of 8GB consistently fails. I uninstalled STAF and reinstalled
(STAF331-setup-winamd64.exe) on Windows Server 2003 64b, just to be sure I
had the right version, but it still failed.
Any hints?
Thanks.
