Ok, I just joined today and I am hoping for some great one's to loan me thier infinate wisdom. My work have a new FTP server (running Red Hat Linux 7.0) and they also have a Windows 2k server. They want a script that will transfer files from the FTP server to the Windows box every hour, but also on demand. I would like to know if there is a script out there that I can modify without too much work becuase I haven't touched pearl before. What I need the script to do is to search the FTP server for new files and transfer them over without delete the other files on the Wondows box. I then need the files deleted off of the FTP server. Now, the Windows box can do NFS shares (create them so that people can mount them). My boss doesn't want the share mounted all of the time, so it would have to mount it, transfer the files, then unmount it. Can anyone help me on this?
