Time is not something I have much of... I'm a bit surprised (dissspointed) that this is so difficult. On the windows side of life there are certainly tools that allow "normal" userst to perform these kind of things. I use vice-versa at work to update my laptop files. It's not the smb protokol that is the problem.... I'll look into your suggestions and script. I'm not familiar with fusemb. Thanks! C -- C.
