Script to copy files from Mac to Windows server

[mike86]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone have a script that will copy the whole contents of the local /users folder to a network location (a windows server). I know how to do this with windows but haven't got a clue on the macs. We have ARD so can send it out with that.

 

Thanks

Hi there,

 

You can mount the windows share using the mount command:

 

mount -t smbfs //username:password@MACHINENAME/SHARENAME

cp /Users/username/Desktop/foldername/* /Volumes/SHARENAME/mydirectory

 

Make sure to run as console user: root and let me know if it works out well

 

The smiley face is actually an 'at' sign.

 

Thanks.
