Keith,
 
There are several solutions to this problem. The one which I 
personnally prefer is to use the DECUS UUCP to automatically call 
the other site every couple of days (this solution does assume 
that the other site is willing to allow a UUCP connection). The 
files can then be sent by Email between the two machines. A side 
benefit of this approach is that UUCP supports retries and a 
fairly extensive script capability. The files to be sent to the 
other system can be sent by BATCH jobs sending MAIL using the 
normal VMS MAIL utility (in command line mode, of course).
 
I hope that the above information is helpful. If I can be of 
further assistance, please feel free to give me a call ordrop me 
an Email.
 
- Bob
