Linux Samba

[wsanchez2782]

Hi, All

We have a linux server running samba on a remote location, what we would like to do is synchronize the linux files on the remote location with a Windows server. I was wondering if there's any tool to acomplish this task.

Many Thanks

Well, you could mount a windows share under linux and then use rsync on both directories, or you could mount the linux share under windows and find a windows tool.

You could also install rsync and ssh on a windows machine and sync them that way ....

Many Thanks KarveR!

Which way would you go?

That really depends on how remote the remote server is.

The remote server is over a WAN I have access on the public IP or private orver IPSEC VPN tunnel using Juniper Firewalls. ( Just give me you opinion on which one would you go for )

Many Thanks

I'd install rsync+ssh on the windows machine

Hi Karver

Which SSH server you recommend for Windows?

I would use one of the programs in section 2.3 in this link
