I would like to TAR AND move (FTP) a directory structure from one box to another HPUX to AIX :)

how can I just tar the directory sturctures without including the files in them?

THanks!

Once again, pax should help, with the -d option:

Code: 
pax -w [i]/tmp/filename.tar[i] -d $(find [i]srcdir[i] -type d)
