Hi There,
This is probably going to be pretty basic, but I am having problems trying
to do a tar from machine1 to a file on machine2 without success, what am I
missing?
The command I am using is
        tar cvf machine2:/filename /filename_on_machine1
Whenever I execute this I get the message
        tar: cannot open machine2:/filename
I have machine2 listed in /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.equiv and /.rhosts
Machine1 is a HPUX 9.04 and machine2 is DU3.2g
If anyone has any suggestions please email me.
TIA
Glenn.
