xxcopy works over the copy command and is much faster.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a Netware6 server with SP3 installed. &nbsp;When i am at a workstation and issue a standard copy command from a dos prompt to copy data from one mapped drive to another on the save server this is very very slow. &nbsp;Previously we had Netware 5 and this was very fast. &nbsp;NCOPY is much faster than the copy command but is does not prompt to overight files if they already exist (this is what we need to do).<br />
<br />
Any suggestions ?<br />

Thanks

Netware 6 - Slow copy command

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
