How to copy file to Windows share (using command line) without asking for user's help, if possible at all?
wrote this apple-script and its working (working from command line made me retype password for some reason - so I'm using the script).
try
mount volume "smb://user:password@server/sharePath"
end try
thank u all
in link they suggested also to add this to startup items so u won't have to run script every time u startup...

I need to copy a file from my OS X machine to a remote Windows share. Currently, I first use
openand thencp -f myFileName /Volumes/TheRemoteShareName/myFileDestinationName.txt".Is there a way (using only command line) to copy the file without GUI? I tried
mount_smbfs -W workgroup //user:password@SERVER/folder ./mntpointas suggested here but it made me retype password for some reason - so it's not a good solution cause it demands user to act and Im looking for a fully automated solution.edit: i'm looking for a built in solution please... no extra installations. edit: this question was not properly formulated (now edited)

wendy.krieger over 9 yearsI am an OS/2 user. Linux and apple are not my cup of tea, but i suspect that the file system must be open. You could write a shell script to do this, and run it on demand from a desktop icon.

zook2005 over 9 yearsthank you. that is a very good solution. however it creates Dependence in whether
rsyncis installed or not and i want a built in solution. im editing my question now... -
BlueC over 9 yearsIn that case, can you clarify what you mean by "without mounting the remote share first"? You need access to the remote filesystem so that will have to be either by mounting it or some third-party access mechanism. Would an acceptable solution be to have a script that checks if the volume is already mounted, if not then mount it, copy the file, then unmount it?

zook2005 over 9 yearsyes @BlueC. this is a great idea! as long as I don't have to use/see the GUI at all... i finally found this: link as a starting point. it's working!
