You could use smbclient, which provides an ftp-like access to windows shares. It might be seen as a radical idea, but why not simply make the SGI the server for the shared data and let the win98 box access it through a Samba share. That way you only need network access in one direction. The SGI could get to the data off the local disk.

Hi I have an SGI with Irix 6.5, I was wondering is there any way I can read and write to a win 98 computer in my network. &nbsp;If so how? &nbsp;Basically is software which will allow me to share a directory in win98 which can be seen in unix. &nbsp;I am using samba to let the win98 computer read and right to my sgi, I just want to be able to reverse this process. &nbsp;I was thinking there might be a way to even do this in samba but I am not very up on samba.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help.

How can I read and write to a W98 computer?
