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!
