    How to access data on a Windows 2003 server from Unix workstations?

    We have a few Unix workstations, a few Windows XP workstations and a Windows 2003 server. Do you know any product that allows the Unix workstations to see the data in the Windows 2003 server?

    A:

    You need a third party software tool to do that - neither Windows nor Unix provide an embedded tool for this purpose. There is a free, open sorce tool called Samba, which allows you to access the Windows disck from the Unix clients. If you want something with better performance and more functionalities, there is a commercial tool called "DiskShare". It is available from http://www.javvin.com/diskshare.html.
