Remember the title of the thread...recursive ftp, not recursive copy. I wrote the first version of this when I was asked to sync a unix ftp server with an NT ftp server through two firewalls. That's quite a bit more than rsync can handle.

rsync depends on the berkeley remote shell command. That protocol is very insecure, perhaps the most insecure in existence. It always was unix specific and not that many unix shops still use it due to security. And I never seen a firewall configured to pass that protocol.

My script depends on the ftp protocol. Ftp won't win any awards for security either, but it does at least demand a password. Ftp is also widely available and I specificly included NT support.

smbspool

SMBSPOOL(8)															       SMBSPOOL(8)

NAME

       smbspool - send print file to an SMB printer

SYNOPSIS

       smbspool [ job ]  [ user ]  [ title ]  [ copies ]  [ options ]  [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the  Samba suite.

       smbspool  is  a very small print spooling program that sends a print file to an SMB printer. The command-line arguments are position-depen-
       dent for compatibility with the Common UNIX Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing system or from a program or script.

       DEVICE URI

       smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can  take  a	number	of
       forms:

       o smb://server/printer

       o smb://workgroup/server/printer

       o smb://username:password@server/printer

       o smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer

       smbspool  tries to get the URI from argv[0]. If argv[0] contains the name of the program then it looks in the  DEVICE_URI environment vari-
       able.

       Programs using the exec(2) functions can pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the DEVICE_URI environment variable prior to
       running smbspool.

OPTIONS

       o The job argument (argv[1]) contains the job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool.

       o The user argument (argv[2]) contains the print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool.

       o The title argument (argv[3]) contains the job title string and is passed as the remote file name when sending the print job.

       o The  copies  argument (argv[4]) contains the number of copies to be printed of the named file. If no filename is provided than this argu-
	 ment is not used by smbspool.

       o The options argument (argv[5]) contains the print options in a single string and is presently not used by smbspool.

       o The filename argument (argv[6]) contains the name of the file to print. If this argument is not specified then the  print  file  is  read
	 from the standard input.

VERSION

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

AUTHOR

       smbspool was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products.

       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
