> I might be missing something here, why don't you use the SMB protocol? Well, I did not say, that I do not want to use it? I said, I do not want to add an extra(!) protocol. Maybe I expressed myself not correctly. I just want to copy without any change of the target windows system by using a commandline in the shell. And looking for a syntax or a way, how to do it. Hope, this makes things more clear. Best Hans
