Copying and moving the z/OS Unix file or directory to another z/OS Unix directory

  1. Select the z/OS Unix file or directory that you want to copy or move.

  2. Copy or move the files and directory by following one of these operations:

    • Right-click the selection and select Copy or Cut (move). Then right-click the target directory and select Paste.
    • Press Ctrl+C (to copy) or Ctrl+X (to cut/move). Then select the target directory and press Ctrl+V.
    • Drag the selection and drop it on the target directory.

    The Move/Copy dialog box appears, listing the source and target directory involved in the copy or move.

  3. If a like-named file exists in the target directory, in the Options box, select or clear the Replace existing like-named files/folders check box.

    If you are copying a single file or directory, you can specify the new name for it and the new name is used while copying or moving it to the target directory.

  4. If you want to run the file copy process in the background without interrupting your daily workflows, click the Run in background check box. Once the files are copied, you see the notification. Click View Copy Results in the notification message to view the details.
  5. Click Copy. The status of each z/OS Unix file copy or move appears in the Status column.

    • Hover over the Status column to get detailed information on the status. Alternatively, click Details to open the Details dialog box, which displays a summary of the results without the need to hover.

      Important

      If there are any differences in the format of the source and target directory, a warning appears giving an option to proceed or cancel.
