Hi Roy,

You have mounted the DVD using the normal mount option and therefore cant see the contents properly. You need to mount the DVD using the pfs_mount option after which you will be able to copy the file across.
Have a look at the man pages of pfs_mount.
Run pfs_mountd and pfsd in nohup first.

You have mounted it wrong. But if you don't care, you can just do:
cp "HPUX__11_11_06040835.ZIP;1" /opt/HPUX__11_11_06040835.zip

See these threads about mounting:

>Rajeev: Run pfs_mountd

I believe the forum consensus is don't even think of using pfs_mountd.

Thank you very much guys, the issue is resolved now...but new issue is created....i am unable to unzip the file as we dont have unzip command installed on the system....thanks again.

>we dont have unzip command

Have you tried gunzip? It says it handles only one file in a .zip file.
