I'm trying to use some software on my network and having the following problem:
The software is old and can't directly access a network share.
Mapping a drive isn't an option, as only the C drive is supported.
What I'm really after is something like the smbmount command in Linux so I can just place the files directly over.
Other than that, the only solution I've found would be to create a scheduled job to move the files over every second or so, and that'd be ugly.

Suggestions??

Upgrade the software to the point after networks became common in the United States.

I believe that with windows mountpoints they only work for local storage. Does the program have a dialog box that you can put in a path, or select the folder from an explorer type view?

Unfortunately not. It's a text based menu of the C drive.
Guess I'll just have to write a push script and set it to run every minute. Thanks for clearing that up tho.
