CentOS - Feb 2006 - automatic transfer files between Windows PC & Centos server

Hi everyone,

I have this problem and need your help.  I have some files locate on 
windows pc that I need to upload to centos server everyday automatically 
and without provide password.  Is there an easy way for this?  I would 
like to use some kind of batch file because I can use schedule in WinXP to 
performance this job everyday.

Thanks in advance,
JC

Allowing anonymous upload is a risk, soon your server will be used as a
warez repository.

You can do a .BAT file on WinXp, if there are many file, you can 
compress them with winzip (commandline) and then, you can copy this file 
on linux via scp (with user and pwd in command line).
Else, you cah share a linux folder via samba without password (like 
public directory) and copy file via .BAT using UNC name o mapping 
samba-linux directory.

I don't mean anonymous upload, but pre-set the password somehow so it 
doesn't ask for password during automatically upload.

Share the folder on the Windows box(*), and use samba/smbclient on the 
centos box to (periodically) fetch the files.

(*) you'll probably have to allow File/Printer sharing through the 
Windows filewall, but it would be best to limit remote access to only 
the centos server in questino.

If it is over a local network, you can set up a samba share on
the server and map it as a drive from XP, or the reverse - share
a folder from XP and mount into Centos or access with smbclient.

Over the internet, I'd install cygwin ssh and set up keys
for passwordless access, then schedule scp commands.

scp stuff over using a password-less ssh key perhaps ?
or look at the unision packages, works on both ends and can ( i think ) 
do what you want.

I use WinSCP and pub/priv keys to back up users files to a backup
account on a CentOS server. I put the script in Scheduled Tasks when
the PC is idle over 15 minutes.

Run cygwin-rsyncd on each windows computer, assign a username and 
password and share in the config, and you can rsync the files every 
night. This is how I backup the work folders on our windows machines.
