# There are several areas to fix, the username/password above, and the
# server/share name and dns name specifics below, the file to copy, an

# that file should be called on this box once the copying is successfu

# Correct   If a file doesn't exist, or the old file is deleted first,
+ 
# Behavior  then the new file is copied to the desired location, durin
+g 
#           the time the file is being copied, we get an error, the 
#           destination file isn't created or modified, and things wor

#
# Problem:  When doing an SMB copy from a windows share at the same ti
+me a 
#           new file is being copied over top of an old one, the resul
+ting 
#           copy we get is damaged (the file is zero'ed out from the p
+oint
#           where the new copy started being written over the old). 
#
# Solution: Attempt two copies of the file.  If a new file is being co
+pied
#           over the top of the old one, the zero'ed out area(s) will 
+make
#           the resulting files different, once the two files are iden
+tical,
#           and larger than zero bytes, then we can be assured that th
+e 
#           copy was successful.
