[plug] accessing a NT folder

[John Usher (Maptek)]

<DUMMY ACTION="SPIT" />

Woah.

Please let me apologise for making any suggestions at all. There didn't
seem to be many responses to this question.

I didn't know the specifics, so was just trying to cover a few bases.
Perhaps two of my options were quite obscure, but I admitted to that. My
other two options were NFS and SMBFS. Not obscure in the slightest.

smbfs is really the opposite of samba (samba is hey, look at me, smbfs
is oy, i want to look at you).

I figured the issue was that the Linux box had to push the file to NT.

In future I'll stick to making no suggestions in case someone who has
made no suggestions has a go at me.

You are right...there are many options. But the well-worn ones are
hardly obsure -- wasn't his problem trivial? I mean, he'd be doing it
every time he visited a web site served by Linux using a browser running
under Windows. If I understood it correctly, Jon's problem was that he
had some files on a Linux machine and wanted to get them over to an NT
machine via a script. The NT machine didn't have wget and the Linux
machine couldn't run Samba, so he didn't know what to do. The
common-place solutions would be to run an SSH daemon or an HTTP daemon
or an FTP daemon or an SMB daemon or and NFS daemon or a...as you said,
there are many options...and have the corresponding command-line client
on the NT machine.
