Thank everybody for responding, but eventually everybody forgot the
problem. I need to copy files from an XP machine to a Solaris box,
compile those files (.c), and link them to be used as a device driver.
All this needs to be done in a script file.

So now I have decided to try do it FTP style. I will be downloading an
Windows FTP server (Filezilla) and try to get the source file from a
Solaris machine using the FTP client.

If you are scripting this, you may need expect as an ftp client
wrapper. Maybe there's a script-able ftp client out there somewhere.

Me, I'm too lazy to figure out any of this. I would park the source
on the web somewhere and use ftp or ssh clients on both win and unix
machines to get/put it.

Pinheaded, I know, but at least the driver development could continue
and you could sort out the niceties of heterogenous file sharing some
other time.

Running any kind of net server on a win box just makes me nervous...
