[NTLUG:Discuss] using smbfs to transfer file between to windows computers

[David Evans]

hello all
I am using smbfs to mount two windows boxes to a linux suse server 2.6 
kernel. When I copy a file from one windows to the other windows box I 
run into a 2 gig transfer limit. What is wrong and or has anybody else 
run into this problem

smbmount //archive/archive /home/bltj/archive -o 
username=(whatever),password=(whatever),uid=(whatever)

smbmount //prep/prep /home/bltj/prep -o 
username=(whatever),password=(whatever),uid=(whatever)

so next I used konqueror to open the two windows shares using the 
network with the following commands in the browser window.

smb://archive/archive

smb://prep/prep

I was able to transfer a 2.7 gig file this way.

My problem is I need to mount these windows shares on boot up and run 
automatic file transfer between the two boxes using a script that I 
wrote running on the linux box. Any ideas why the transfer fails mount 
using smbfs????
