[Use a script with Samba]

[Nelson Garcia]

You could also use smbmount.

If you just want to copy files and directories, use ftp.  You can write an
'expect' script to do that.
Here's a sample I stole from http://www.rtr.com/newrtr/tech.xprogramer.htm

#! /usr/local/bin/expect --
#test on ftp
set timeout 60
spawn ftp ftp.rtr.com
expect "Name*:"
send "anonymous\r"
expect "Password:"
send "test at rtr.com\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "cd ReadyPaks\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "bin\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "get SamplePak.SSol2.RTR\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "quit\r"
expect "221 Goodbye.\r"
close
wait
send_user "Your file is here\n"

I have a script that uploads a webpage every 4 hours with my IP address (my
IP is dynamic).  I'm writing from work so I don't have the script with me.
However the above example should get you started.

I hope that helps.
Nelson
