can rsync do this?

So here's the setup: windows machine with file sharing on and a linux box that can access windows through samba. Is it possible to set up rsync on the linux box and have it rsync a certain folder from the windows machine?

Thanks

Yes, if you mount the windows share as smbfs.

Just mount your Windows - Share on your Linux - machine and use rsync like you do it on your local machine.

Of course you could do this task without using a samba - share. Have a look on http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/

With this compilation you can run a local rsync - server on your windows machine and use rsync directly without samba.
