I need to transfer several folders, sub-folders and files from a
failing SCO server over to a new Red Hat server. Unfortunately, the
DAT 72 drive does not seem to like the older DAT 2 cartridge so
reading off a type "seems" to be out. I have tried with ftb but it
does not seem to create the folders "on the fly" as the files
transfer.

What can I look at?

Minor point, there are no "folders" on Linux,
you mean directories.

To accomplish what you want, most people
would create a compressed tar, copy the tar file with FTP,
then uncompress it.

Besides the tarball method there's scp -r somedir somehost:/some/dir
or scp -r somehost:/some/dir somedir

Install private keys on both, and your only problem is which machine
that prompt you're looking at is talking to.
