[LUNI] automated SCP in windows

[Samir Faci]

Is the win2k3 box on the same network?  I wonder if you setup a profile 
for putty with a pre-shared key/tunnels if you could just script win2k3 
to mount \\localhost\share and then cp everything to that share.  Once 
transfered, kill putty? 

Actually....  If I'm reading this right, bitvise lets you run an ssh 
server on your windows box.

Can't you write a simple bash script and add it as a crontab job to your 
box?


#!/bin/bash
scp user at win2k3server:C://db//access.db   /home/backup   

(no clue on the syntax of the windows directories.  )  Just have the 
linux machine pull the db nightly or whenever you need it.  And run 
winsshd as a service.  If it doesn't run as a service check this out:

Also.............

since you have an ssh server on windows, you can simply use sshfs-fuse 
to mount the entire C drive if you wanted to and pull whatever file you 
wanted.
