Thanks for your comment but we already tryed Samba and the problem is that
Samba doesn't let you write files or directory names with special characters
which are allowed on Mac Platform but not on Windows, these are for example:
\ / : * ? < > |

So Samba is not a solution for us as we have specific Mac OS X applications
which need these special characters.
