Hi Darrell!
On unix I use tar commands and rsh/ssh.
On the same server you can leave off the rsh bit. I like ssh myself. Make sure you can 
rsh/ssh first!
Also this is a very intense command it will overwrite files.

cd to the directory you wish to copy

pwd
/var/spool/imap

tar cvfp - .| rsh server;(cd /var/spool/imap;tar xvfp -)

or on same server

cd /var/spool/imap/user/kboyd
pwd
/var/spool/imap/user/kboyd

tar cvfp - .|(cd /backup/imap/user/kboyd; tar xvfp -)


I use this to copy gigs of data.

Hope it helps!
