in reply to Access DOS System Commands

If the files are in a Windows box, you have to mount the DOS filesystem using the Samba utilities. But you will have to use Linux commands - you can't use DOS commands in the Linux box.

    Do you think creating a batch file on a windows box would be more efficient in this case to handle the duties I am requiring? To make things simple at least.

      Moving local files is more efficient then moving files through the network, but if you are the system administrator you might not want to go to the user's machine to do it.

      Take a look at man smbclient in the Linux box.
