Re: copying a file from unix to windows

    If you're going to be doing alot of transfers, you can mount a Windows share like so: 
    mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=secret //windowsbox/
+c\$ /windowsbox/c

    [download]
    Also, you can use smbclient from samba, which acts much like an ftp client.

    http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbclient.1.html

    You could also ftp them over if you had a FTP server on the Windows box. but that's so 1995.

    The most secure, bestest way would be to download the OpenSSH port for Windows and scp it over:

    Copy the file to a disc with the cp command, then go to the windows machine and read the file.
