Guys, I really need some help. Samba version samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.2 samba-2.2.7-3.7.2 samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.2 samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.2 I'm trying to upload all *.gz files only from dir* dirs. I do mask *.gz recurse mput dir* See the detailed output below But mput keeps grabbing non *.gz files IGNORING the mask *.gz command. Am I doing something stupid here? Thanks, Ruslan.
