If you must reinvent wheels please do so, the wheels are samba and rsync
respectively though.

Hi,
Here's what I thought about.

For this process, I'm assuming that the files I'm interested will only
be created and altered on the Windows side.

==========

On the Linux box, make a Perl or some other kind of script that does the
following.
Copy the folder structure I'm interested in somewhere to back it up.
crawl through the folder structure and read the time stamp information
and write it  somewhere.
Kick off SFTP, FTP, or something. 
Log onto the Windows box
cd to  the folder structure on the Windows box.
do a dir,  and pipe it to a file.
Download the resulting file.
Load the file.
Read the time stamp from each line of the file and compare that to the
time stamp of the file on the Linux side.
Assume that if a file doesn't exist on the Linux side, that it is new,
so collect its information.
If the time stamp from Windows is newer than the one on Linux, collect
the files  information.
When done reading through files, download the changed or new ones from
the Windows box.
Log off from the Windows box.
Send me an e-mail that summarizes what happened.

Any holes in this logic?

Thanks.

Jim

Sounds like a job for either samba or rsync though if the windows box
has no rsync set up on it that won't work.

Hi,

I want to make a process that does the following.

 

* Runs on a Linux box.

* Opens an application. I'm not sure if it needs to be ftp or secure
ftp, or something else.

* Opens up an address to a Windows box.

* Logs on.

* Compares files on the windows box to those on the Linux box to see if
any on the Windows box were updated based on time stamp.

* The folder structures on both boxes would mirror each other except for
starting location.

* Moves only the newer ones up to the Linux box.

* Logs off.

* Closes.

 

Thanks.

 

Jim

Thanks.
