Copy files with pattern from ext4 to cifs file system
Hi

I have a shell script to copy a pattern of files from Linux to Windows Filesystem.

When i execute the below command
Code:
cp -av TOUT_05-02-13* Windows/Folder

`TOUT_05-02-13-19:02:37.tar.gz' -> `Windows/Folder/SYSOUT_05-02-13-19:02:37.tar.gz'
cp: cannot create regular file `Windows/Folder/TOUT_05-02-13-19:02:37.tar.gz': No such file or directory

Same command with Target Directory of /tmp is successful
Code:
cp -av TOUT_05-02-13* /tmp/archive
`TOUT_05-02-13-19:02:37.tar.gz' -> `/tmp/archive/TOUT_05-02-13-19:02:37.tar.gz'

do we need to specify any other flag in this case ?

Stupid question by me maybe but what happens with these from where you stand in the actual directory:
Code:
ls -la Windows/Folder && touch Windows/Folder/testbla

?

Code:
user@server> ls -la Windows/Folder
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root    0 2013-09-10 02:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root    0 2013-09-10 01:57 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root 1645 2013-08-27 04:30 kill-session.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root    0 2013-09-10 02:19 test

Code:
touch Windows/Folder/testfile
 ls -la Windows/Folder/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root 0 2013-09-10 04:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root 0 2013-09-10 01:57 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root 0 2013-09-10 02:19 test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 MYID root 0 2013-09-10 04:03 testfile

When hit tab 2 times with pattern TOUT-05-01* it expands as below
Code:
TOUT_05-01-13-19\:01\:55.tar.gz
Does this delimiters causing the issue ?

MS-Windows does not allow filenames with colons.

Replace the colon with a allowed character, for example a dot:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for i in TOUT_05-02-13*; do
   cp -av $i Windows/Folder/${i//:/.}
done
