First of all, ntrans doesn't work like that. "ntrans \%3A \:" will convert % to : and delete any occurence of 3 and A. That might collapse into what you want if the only 3 and A characters happen to always follow a : but it seems like a dangerous way to do things. From the man page:

Quote:

ntrans [inchars [outchars]]
...
If the character's position in inchars is longer than the length of outchars, the character is deleted from the file name.

And no, hardfeed is not going to work with ntrans. hardfeed needs to send a string like "get $file" to the ftp coprocess. Then it waits until the file arrives by testing if $file exists. Once the file arrives, it may optionally do a "chmod $mode $file" to transfer the mode. Another option is retrieve the file only if the remote file is newer than the local file. All of this stuff is based on file names.

You could use hardfeed to retrieve the files, then run another script to rename them. There are many example of renaming scripts on this site and you can find them with our search function. But remember that if you rename the files, you won't be able to run hardfeed again to just retrieve changed files. hardfeed will think that any renamed files are missing.

smbstatus

SMBSTATUS(1)															      SMBSTATUS(1)

NAME

       smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

SYNOPSIS

       smbstatus [ -P ]  [ -b ]  [ -d ]  [ -L ]  [ -p ]  [ -S ]  [ -s <configuration file> ]  [ -u <username> ]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the  Samba suite.

       smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections.

OPTIONS

       -P     If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the contents of the profiling shared memory area.

       -b     gives brief output.

       -d     gives verbose output.

       -L     causes smbstatus to only list locks.

       -p     print a list of  smbd(8) processes and exit.  Useful for scripting.

       -S     causes smbstatus to only list shares.

       -s <configuration file>
	      The default configuration file name is determined at compile time. The file specified contains the configuration details required by
	      the server. See smb.conf(5)
	       for more information.

       -u <username>
	      selects information relevant to username only.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

       smbd(8) and smb.conf(5)

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the  Samba	Team  as  an  Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       The  original  Samba  man  pages were written by Karl Auer.  The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of
       Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated  for  the	Samba  2.0
       release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
