Well you need Samba, which you can download from http://www.samab.org. You'll need to compile, install, and configure it, which isn't that much of a job. Once running, Samab will allow you to access your SunOS data from the Windows system across network shares.
jlevie,
   Do you really type those www.samab.org or just some typos :-)
The URL you give ends up at some environmental sites.  Anyway, correction to the URL, it's http://www.samba.org

And yes, you need to recompile.  Unless you are running SunOS 5.X (aka Solarix 2.X) then check out http://www.sunfreeware.com  they might have a preinstalled binaries available.

javadp,

and yes, they have precompiled binaries,

ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/bin-pkgs/solaris/Sparc/

Check against your SunOS version, and download accordingly.

If you are still stuck with SunOS, I bet it will be SunOS 4.1.3

ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/bin-pkgs/solaris/Sparc/samba-2.0.3-sunos-4.1.3.tar.Z

and get some initial installation instruction

ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/bin-pkgs/solaris/Sparc/HOWTO-INSTALL-Samba206

good luck.
Yes, it was a typo, I meant www.samba.org.
www.sunfreeware.com is another good place to
get samba and more in a pkg format.
