There's a bunch of ways to do this. Here's one: Install Samba on the Linux guest. Write a small script that does a 'mount -T smbfs' for the Windows drive and then uses the Linux cp command to copy the file from the SMB drive, then unmounts the Windows drive. The script will need to specify the Windows machine, the location, and login credentials for the Windows machine. Once you have that, use the VSE TCPIP REXEC support to remotely execute the script on the Linux system -- then you can schedule it in VSE, and you get valid return codes, etc. If you can't use REXEC for security reasons, get a copy of BSI's NJE Bridge and use the RJE support for Linux in it. VSE sees it as another node, and you can send the Linux system a script to run, and it'll run it and send the results back to VSE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
