Hi folks, I'm trying to transfer some files from my PC to an AT&T UNIX PC. I've got Kermit up and running at 19200 Baud (after applying a kernel patch to increase the serial port poll rate) but the UNIX PC seems to be having trouble creating the directories from the tarball. On my Linux box I use this command inside kermit: CSEND {tar cf - file1 file2 ...} And on the UNIX PC: CRECEIVE {tar xf -} This works fine if I send files, but not directories: the UNIX PC's terminal is covered in messages like "CORE/diag/sys: cannot create". Does anyone know what I need to do to make GNU tar 1.26 produce a tar file the UNIX PC (some variant of SysV as I recall) can unpack?
