It's possible in linux to connect to a windows share. A command like the following would do the trick. mount -t smbfs //your_server.full.path/share /mnt/point -o workgroup=your_workgroup,username=a_username,password=read_only_password Then you can load the images from /mnt/point.

so if there was a way to link the the sharefile and not actually scp the files over that would be way cool.

I have 53,000 students and a windows server in another building that I have a fileshare to. What would be the recommended way to copy those files over and load them into Koha?
I have tried scp * but the problem is that it only copies what 2000 at a time and then dies.
I'm a librarian looking for an easy solution without lots of programming.
So here was my thought:
build a cron first make the fileshare connection then issue several scp statements to copy the files over to the local server then issue the command to batch load them
I have a command line utility that someone gave me to batch load pictures. I'll find someone to send it to for testing with 3.2. Next task...
Thoughts? Comments - is there an easier way?
manually I have copied the files over and run this command to load them I believe the utility is assuming the files are in the same directory:
./loadimages.sh - which issues perl loadimages.pl -i IDLINK.txt -l image.log
from the loadimages.pl file -
my(%count,$input_file,$error_file,$log_file,$sepchar,$imagedirectory); $imagedirectory = "";
