    Can't you just mount the share (albeit temporarily) and copy
    the files over in the normal way? You haven't said what OS
    you're on, but I'm assuming Linux otherwise you'd simply be
    talking about a Windows share and copying to a UNC.

      Thank you for the reply!

      Yes, I am running the script under linux and it will be doing some
      processing before copying it over to the samba mount.

      It's totally fine to mount it with os.sys(...) approach but I am just
      thinking if there's other option.

          None that is any more comfortable. If anything, you'd need smbclient or some
          such to list and fetch data - which is *much* more complicated that simply
          mounting a share defined in fstab.

              I'm not really a Linux person but from all I can see
              from Googling around a bit, the os.system ("mount/unmount")
              option is still the most viable. Hopefully someone with
              real expertise can chip in.

              BTW, opinion in this ng/mailing list tends to favour
              bottom-posting or interleaved posting.
