This brings up one more problem i have right now. When i try to mount the windows folder (as root user )and rsync it to local folder i have no problems the rsync works fine. But when i try to mount windows folder as USER APACHE (we built a webpage for all this process) and try to rsync it to a local folder, the rsync doesn’t work properly. thank you all for your help tarun Jason Haar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Just a note.
