MkII Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I want to automate the copying of a daily created file from a windows 2K file server into a web folder on my slackware server. Any help please
webman Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Command line SCP (Secure copy) app - PSCP from here.
localzuk Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I would say the easiest way would be to set up samba on the linux box and a scheduled task on the windows box which runs a xcopy.
MkII Posted April 27, 2007 Author Posted April 27, 2007 K right thanks. Rsync would be what i'd like to do, would easily cure the problem of copying over new files. As this file could appear anytime, i'd need to check repeatedly. What are the commands to run cron? How do I attach to a windows share from linux - what's the command?
Geoff Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 What are the commands to run cron? You must edit the system crontab. It's located at /etc/crontab. If your confused about the format of the file, consult the man page (man crontab). How do I attach to a windows share from linux mount -t cifs /// You may wish to set things up in /etc/fstab though so Linux mounts the share on bootup.
