Hi,
I want tar up some files on a UNIX box and smbclient them over to a PC
with a CD writer. Ideally I'd like to pipe from tar to smbclient, is this
possible?

ie

tar -cvf - somefiles | smblclient \\\\machine\\service -c 'put - unixfile.tar'

but I get an error telling me - does not exist

thanks
barney
