I have very little experience that’s why I need some help to get started I have been given a task to write a shell script in Linux and I don’t know from where to begin. Can anyone help me out with this please.

1. Move files from Windows 98 machine to this linux machine folders and sub-folders.
(i.e. c:/list/*.* to /var/www/list/) (c:/lot_repos/*.* to /var/www/lot_repos/) & a long list is there.

2. Move the above files at a given hour of the day.

3. CHMOD this files to 644.

I swear that I don’t know about shell scripting Please some one help & save me.

even before you write your script you will nead to be able to communicate between windows and linux. You will need to set up samba for that.
