Here's how I do it...

- Open a writable Samba share on the FreeBSD box.
- Map the drive from Windows and ensure the Win-user
can write to it.
- Schedule Robocopy (Res. Kit utility) to sync the
Samba share from publications.
 
Should do it.  Robocoy script should be something like:

robocopy.exe C:\publications J:\sambashare /mir >> C:\robocopy.log

where C:\ is your local source directory that you
are syncing  from and J: is your mapped Samba share
on the FreeBSD box.

HTH,

Christopher Hollow
