Here's my problem: I have a FreeBSD server running an aplication. The operators of the aplication (read: people who doesn't know Unix) need to upload some files to the server, and the aplication reads them. The files are flat ASCII. They where using FTP in ASCII mode for that, but they wanted it to be "even easier", so I set up Samba on the server and they just drag and drop the files. The problem is with the CRLF conversion, because the app needs the files the unix way, but they upload them the DOS way. I need an automatic way to handle the conversion, since there is nobody who knows Unix there, and I can't tell them "run such command". They have no shell access. I was thinking of writing a little script which runs from cron, converts the files and then moves them to the final dir, but maybe there is a way of doing it from samba itself. Does anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance and sorry for the OT. Fer
