your entire XP drive is shared anyways, you could smbmount it onto the woody box using the C$ share and the admin login/password. > (i wouldn't recommend that as an automated solution, leaving your > entire drive shared is bad...) indeed, and microsoft insists on doing this, unless you know the registry keys to remove those shares. > b ] install cygwin on your xp box, and through cygwin install rsync, > cron, and ssh. then, rsync the directories when you want, just > like you would on another linux box (this assumes you know how > crontabs work if you want to automate it). one problem I found with rsync under cygwin is it is HORRIBLY slow. I have a dual celeron 433 master server that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to build the file list for 5 gig of files(about 150,000 files) The celeron 333 that grabs that list off the NT server, can in turn share it out in well under a minute.
