Hi All,
Can any one help me on how to transfer a folder from datastage server to another windows server using DataStage.

Thank you very much in advance.

A 'folder transfer', meaning a directory and all of the files it contains? Not an ETL task, but you could 'batch' it and then DataStage could run the batch file.

Or you could use one of the recursive copy protocols, such as the XCOPY command.

Across boxes? Thinking you'd need to zip/tar the folder, transfer that and then unzip/untar on the other side.

Not a problem if you can mount the target folder on the source system, or can use UNC pathnames (and the "system" will let you).

True.
