smb/linux work-around for sma
Anyone been to www.scour.net? Well, if you haven't, it is a really cool,
professional media search engine.
Scour.net has its own client software, available only for win95/NT,
called Scour Media Agent. SMA works over the smb/samba protocol and I've
been able to mount shares, download, etc.. I'm wondering if anyone knows
a quicker way to download files from these sites.. -- I'd like to just
click on the link and begin downloading, with some sort of status
indicator.
When I click on a link, Scour.net sends a file called 'smadlc' .. this
file has a real basic format:
Version 1.0
url smb://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:HOST/SHARE/PATH/FILE
.. the host, share, path, and file can have spaces..
I guess a simple work around would be to make a script to execute
smbclient whenever a smadlc file exists... but that is really sloppy and
there isn't a status indicator .. I wouldn't know if there was a
successful connection, errors, eta, etc... anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
-Paul
