mounted drives

mounted drives

[Michael F. Smith]

I am sure you have probably heard this before as my research reveals that many 
have failed to get it to work. I am trying to use rsync from a linux server 
to get data from a windows XP that has a snap drive mounted as drive M:\

I am able to get the other files on the XP to copy fine, but I get the error 
indicating that folder does not exist when attempting to get data from the 
mounted drive.

I suspect that this may have something to do with the fact that the user is 
not logged in and as a result the drive that mapps when they login, is not 
actually mapped.

Can you suggest a correct method to perhaps add an option to the rsync daemon 
service to map the drive when the daemon starts ??

I'm assuming your research didn't turn up this?
