samba - Nov 1999 - Samba Q on symbolic links

Hi,

Is there a way for a NT client to tell a SAMBA server to copy a UNIX
directory to another UNIX directory, while preserving any symbolic links
that may exist, without copying the contents of what the symbolic links
are pointing to?

Thanks,
Paul.

If all else fails, you can write a Unix command to do it and call the Unix
command from the print command of a print share. Then you "print" a
file
from dos with the source directory on the first line, and the destination
directory on the second, and the deed will be done. You can make a little
dos batch file to assemble the file to be printed, map an lpt to the share,
and copy it to the lpt port.
