Hi Karl
Thanks for this pointer !
I haven't got to recognize this !!

On the other hand I was assuming that with TCP/IP the FS at Source and
Target 
shall interfere quite problemless !?

Well, as already written to John, FAT32 only came into game because 
the units format themselves ONLY FAT32 !!!

My intention was to have identical FS on Sources and Targets.

I will have to get back to my tech buddies to hear their
recommendations ! ;-D
