We use rsync for just that purpose - we have cygwin on Windows, and it plays unix host for rsync that runs as a cron job every 20 minutes on the UNIX box.

Corona's Samba suggestion is easier. But you have to do something restrict access to the mountpoint and all of the files under there, except the hold file. Assuming there are other files in the same directory.

The rsync method allows an easy way for finer access control if really is just a single file you want users to see. But it involves a lot more setup.

All four programs take similar sets of options. All of these options can be set using the following environment variables: o PSSH_HOSTS o PSSH_USER o PSSH_PAR o PSSH_OUTDIR o PSSH_VERBOSE o PSSH_OPTIONS SEE ALSO
