it's harder to securify that kind of setup. plus i have to teach the users to save to the linux box.
i have win32 rsync binaries already. with my original plan i can just create a batch file containing the command to copy the files to the server. then place the batch file in task scheduler so it will run automatically. thus i won't have to teach the users anymore. they just use the computer as they normally would. if only i could make rsync and ssh work!!!! --- Federico Sevilla III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 19 Nov 2001 at 07:35, amiel ong wrote: > > thats a great idea!!! can you tell me do i need to > setup for your > > suggestion to work? > > It's fairly simple, actually.
