Using Timesup to scan root UNC paths
Posted on Wednesday, March 10 @ GMT Standard Time by JJ

Timesup is unable to scan root UNC folders due to a limitation in the mingw32 libary. We are unable to solve it until someone has fixed it (we had a look at the compiler source, but at that point (it translates to windows API's) it looked like a general Windows problem (like the standard dir command).



But the good news is, there is a work arround:

If you want to scan from root UNC paths, you have to create a three line .cmd file with the following contents:

pushd %1
c:\admin\timesup "-f:.\*.*" -t -s -d:60
popd

Save this threeliner with the name timesup2.cmd (example). Change the timesup settings of course to meet your needs. c:admin is the directory where timesup is on this machine, but of course, this has to match your installation.

Now you can call timesup2 \\myserver\myshare and this will scan the entire share.

Perhaps in the near future we will make Timesup a bit more intelligent, so it will do a temporay drivemapping by itself when you call it with only a UNC share name.
