Mike you are the man! I have figured out the correct perl command to load
them from the remote server without transfering the files to my server...
OH THIS IS GREAT!
I'll see if it works with 3.2 and maybe we can get it included for the rest
of the world that has thousands of pictures to load!
I've actually got a feature in my personal code base to manually
synchronize patrons with another database, but that's probably not what
you're looking for here.
If that would work for you then you should be able to pull the patch

I have 53,000 students and a windows server in another building that I have a
fileshare to. What would be the recommended way to copy those files over

Hi David,
I think Rsync is your answer. You can use it on both boxes. It will keep the

It's possible in linux to connect to a windows share. A command like
the following would do the trick.
mount -t smbfs //your_server.full.path/share /mnt/point -o
workgroup=your_workgroup,username=a_username,password=read_only_password
Then you can load the images from /mnt/point.
On Wed,
