Timothy,

I do not know how to qalify or quantify what is working and what is not
working without more specific info, such as copy & paste of the command
you are running and the output you are getting.

Perhaps what you need to do is prefix the source file name with the
original server name, i.e., instead of poa:swsp/, do doqcrps\poa:swsp/ ?

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
