|% You may use "rexec" from W2K to remotely start a process on

|%
|%   C:\Temp>rexec p92 "cd /local;tar cbf 64 - pst" > here.tar
|%   Name (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
|%   Password (p92.p.n.d.d:root):
|%   C:\Temp>dir here.tar
|%   Medium in Drive C: No designation
|%   Medium srl. no.: 582D-A5D8
|%   Directory C:\Temp
|%   20.11.2003  14:17        2.462.627.947 here.tar
|%               1 File(s)    2.462.627.947 Bytes
|%               0 Directory 46.868.381.696 Bytes free
|%   So it's bigger than 2 GB.

| gigabyte file?I'm wondering what's happening then....

   C:\Temp>timethis rexec pmn92 "cd /local;tar cbf 64 -

   TimeThis :  Elapsed Time :  00:08:31.890

   C:\Temp>dir here.tar
   24.11.2003  13:47        5.102.475.224 here.tar

What did you expect?
Works also with "dd if=file" > here.tar to just copy
a single 5 GB file to W2K.
