Other than saying, we feel your pain, that's the way it is. The problem is that the client is in control. The client reads a file and then writes it. The client does not tell the server what it is going to go with the file before it starts to read it. Now I know one thing that would be neat, wouldn't it be neat if we could build a server that could read our minds! Oops, that might not be such a good idea given what I sometimes think about servers. ;) - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
